Aaron’s response was marred by disciplinary issues, receiving a yellow card in the 10th minute for an unspecified offence and another in the 17th minute for a bad tackle, which disrupted their rhythm and allowed DABOYSFC to dictate play.

DABOYSFC’s attacking intent was rewarded in the 20th minute when Nathaniel Ferguson’s long pass found Jaden Gentle, who calmly tapped in with his right foot from close range. Just three minutes later, the roles were reversed as Gentle set up Ferguson with a short pass, allowing the left forward to slot home another tap-in from close range, making it 3 goals to none.

The hosts’ aggression was tempered slightly when Suhail De Koker received a yellow card in the 32nd minute, but this did little to halt their momentum. The first half concluded with DABOYSFC firmly in control at 3-0.

Aaron’s struggles continued after the break, with another yellow card in the 50th minute for dissent or foul play. Despite this, they managed to pull a goal back immediately through a header from outside the box, offering a brief glimmer of hope. However, DABOYSFC responded swiftly; just three minutes later, Raeez Rubidge lobbed the ball expertly into the net following a long pass from Alanzo McKenzie, restoring a two-goal cushion.

Tensions flared again as Aaron received a further yellow card for dissent in the 53rd minute. Raeez Rubidge then doubled his tally in the 61st minute, extending the lead and effectively putting the game beyond doubt.

Shortly after, tactical changes began with Suhail De Koker making way for Riaz Rubidge in the 62nd minute, followed by Leevin Zacheus replacing Jaden Gentle a minute later. These substitutions injected fresh energy into the side.

DABOYSFC continued to press, and in the 65th minute Nathaniel Ferguson scored his second goal of the match, a close-range tap-in finished with his right foot after a neat short pass from Raeez Rubidge. The hosts then made a triple substitution in the 71st minute, bringing on Warren Meyers for Nazeem Ely, Denzel Russell for Raeez Rubidge, and Le-jaun Van Schoor for Neillan Abrahams, further bolstering their midfield and attacking options.

The scoring was not yet finished as Riaz Rubidge found the net in the 81st minute, tapping in from a short pass by Leevin Zacheus to make it 7-1. At the same time, Reese Mathee was replaced by Deven Benson, rounding off the substitutions.
