EKFC 09s Gold lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, deploying Ross McNab in goal behind a back four of Alfie Hall at right defender, Matthew Henderson and Max Graham as central defenders, and Stephen Orr at left defender.

Receiving a short pass from Josh Gales, Christie unleashed a right-footed strike from outside the box that found the net, setting the tone for what was to become a goal-fest. Just three minutes later, Christie doubled his tally, this time finishing inside the area after a precise cross from Daniel Friel, again with his right foot.

EKFC 09s Gold continued to dominate possession and chances, and in the 16th minute Max Graham rose highest to head home a corner delivered by Daniel Friel from close range. The visitors’ momentum was relentless as Callum Kerr added a fourth goal two minutes later, finishing inside the box with a right-footed shot following a long pass from Friel.

The scoring spree showed no signs of abating as Josh Gales headed in a free kick from Daniel Friel in the 21st minute, further emphasising Friel’s influence on the game. Three minutes later, Friel himself struck from outside the box with a powerful right-footed long-range effort that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

Andrew Hall then got in on the act in the 38th minute, converting another free kick from Daniel Friel inside the box with a composed right-footed finish. Just before half-time, EKFC 09s Gold made a tactical substitution, bringing on Matthew Brown for Andrew Hall to freshen up the midfield.

At the interval, EKFC 09s Gold led 7-0, having completely outplayed Baljaffray FC in every department. The second half began with further tactical changes as Mitchell Tennant replaced Jay Ralston and Leo Moscardini came on for Callum Kerr, signalling a shift to maintain intensity and control.

Max Graham then grabbed his second goal in the 65th minute, finishing from close range with a right-footed shot after a well-placed cross from Alfie Hall.

Leo Moscardini made an immediate impact after coming on, scoring a tap-in in the 73rd minute following a cross from Callum Kerr, who had been moved to a more advanced role. Baljaffray FC managed to pull a goal back in the 79th minute with a right-footed finish inside the box, their only moment of joy in an otherwise one-sided encounter.

EKFC 09s Gold restored their commanding lead six minutes later when Mitchell Tennant scored from inside the box, finishing a short pass from Callum Kerr with his right foot.
