This setup promised a blend of defensive resilience and attacking fluidity, with the wing forwards expected to exploit spaces and create chances. Rudy Park was named among the substitutes.

The match burst into life early, with Luke Berkeley testing the Cyan United goalkeeper inside four minutes, his effort rattling the post. This near miss was a precursor to Purple City’s opening goal just four minutes later. Jay Seven delivered a clever flick assist to Berkeley, who pounced on a goalmouth scramble to slot home from close range with his right foot, sending the home fans into raptures.

The visitors’ frustrations boiled over in the 27th minute when one of their players received a red card for a bad tackle, reducing them to eight men.Berkeley stepped up to convert the penalty with his right foot, extending the lead to 3-0.

Just before half-time, Berkeley was again instrumental, crossing for Jay Seven who executed a spectacular scissors kick from long range, rifling the ball home with his right foot in the 42nd minute. This goal underlined Purple City’s attacking flair and sent them into the break with a commanding 4-0 lead.

In the second half, the hosts made a tactical substitution, bringing on Rudy Park for Jack Daniels at the 47th minute to freshen the right attacking midfield position and maintain their momentum.

Park wasted no time making an impact, scoring a close-range tap-in with his right foot in the 54th minute, further stretching the lead to 5-0. Cyan United’s woes deepened when they suffered a second red card for another bad tackle in the 72nd minute, leaving them with just seven players on the pitch.

From the resulting penalty, Luke Berkeley coolly converted with his left foot, completing his hat trick and pushing the scoreline to 6-0. The visitors were overwhelmed as Purple City continued to dominate possession and create chances.

In the 87th minute, Ryan Scott provided a precise short pass to Berkeley, who finished a well-worked team move with a right-footed strike graping his fourth goal of the match and sealing a 7-0 rout.

Despite a late high attempt from substitute Rudy Park in the 90th minute and a key long pass from Johnnie Damn in stoppage time creating a chance for Berkeley but his effort hit the post, denying him a fifth goal.

Purple City’s comprehensive victory was built on clinical finishing, intelligent movement, and a disciplined defensive display that kept a clean sheet. Luke Berkeley’s four-goal haul was the highlight, supported by Jay Seven’s creativity and goal, while Ryan Scott’s midfield control was pivotal. Cyan United’s two red cards severely hampered their ability to compete, leaving them outclassed on the day.
