Worthing Dynamo lined up in a 4-5-1 formation, deploying Ellis Williams in goal to marshal the defence. The back four consisted of Toby Rennie at right back, Toby Killick and Harrison Flanagan as central defenders, and Bailey Freshwater covering the left flank. The midfield five featured Theo Phillips on the right wing, Isaish Hatton, Archie Parker-Muckle, and Leo Whyatt centrally, with Teddy Gill operating on the left. Leading the line was lone striker Lewis Langdell. This setup was designed to provide solidity at the back while maintaining width and creativity through the midfield, supporting Langdell’s attacking role. Rudy Clark was named among the substitutes.

The match burst into life early on when Worthing Dynamo took the lead inside five minutes. Theo Phillips delivered a precise free kick from outside the area, which caused confusion in the Lancing defence. An unfortunate own goal followed as a Lancing player headed the ball into their own net from close range, giving the hosts an early advantage.

The game saw some disruption in the first half due to injuries. At the 21st minute mark, Leo Whyatt was forced off and replaced by Rudy Clark. Shortly after, at 26 minutes, Harrison Flanagan also left the field injured, with Leo Whyatt returning to the pitch, Meaning Archie Parjer-Mucle dropped back to form a centre back partnership with Toby Killick. These changes tested Worthing Dynamo’s adaptability but did not hinder their momentum.

Worthing Dynamo continued to press and were rewarded again in the 34th minute. Theo Phillips was at the heart of the action once more, capitalising on a goalmouth scramble to fire home from close range with his right foot, extending the lead to 3-0.

The first half concluded shortly after this goal, with Worthing Dynamo firmly in control and Lancing struggling to create clear-cut chances.
