From the outset, Vtoons adopted a 4-3-3 formation, which allowed them to maintain a fluid attacking style. However, it was Aksu Stars who struck first, finding the net early in the match. Their attackers demonstrated clinical finishing, capitalising on defensive lapses from Vtoons, who struggled to contain the pressing of their opponents.

As the match advanced, Vtoons began to find their rhythm, pushing forward with intent. Their midfielders worked diligently to establish control in the centre of the pitch, trying to create openings for the front three to exploit. However, despite their efforts, the Aksu defence remained resolute, making it difficult for Vtoons to carve out clear chances.

The first half concluded with Vtoons trailing by a margin of two goals. Determined to turn the tide in their favour, they emerged from the break with renewed vigour. The team's spirit was evident as they pressed higher and looked for opportunities. Their perseverance paid off when they finally managed to breach Aksu's defence, pulling one back and igniting hopes of a comeback.

Despite the goal providing a temporary glimmer of optimism for Vtoons, Aksu Stars responded swiftly, re-establishing their two-goal cushion soon after. The visitors' ability to maintain composure under pressure was crucial, as they effectively countered Vtoons’ attempts to apply further pressure.

The closing stages of the match saw Vtoons push for a second goal, but Aksu's resolute defending and effective counter-attacks thwarted their efforts. The match ended with Aksu Stars emerging victorious, advancing in the competition while Vtoons were left to reflect on a performance that, while spirited, ultimately fell short against their opponents.
