The match kicked off with Kitchee showing their intent early. In the 6th minute, TANG TSZ WAN whipped in a corner from the left flank, with HUNG WING TUNG XYZA's powerful header just clearing the crossbar. Moments later, TANG TSZ WAN tested the keeper with a long-range effort, but HERNANDEZ DIAZ IRIS was equal to it. Lucky Mile tried to weather the storm and mounted a counterattack in the 12th minute. CHENG RILEY MING LO pounced on a loose ball and unleashed a speculative shot from distance, but it failed to trouble the goalkeeper. Kitchee continued to press, and in the 19th minute, they carved out a gilt-edged chance. AU SHUN KA latched onto a defense-splitting pass and fired from a tight angle, only to be denied by a brilliant save from HERNANDEZ DIAZ IRIS.
The end-to-end action continued with Lucky Mile threatening in the 25th minute. CHON PAIGE JIYOON met a cross from the right with a first-time volley that whistled just over the bar, much to the relief of the Kitchee defense. Kitchee responded immediately, with FUNG TING YIN cutting inside from the left and unleashing a venomous strike that forced HERNANDEZ DIAZ IRIS into an acrobatic save. The pressure from Kitchee was relentless. In the 29th minute, FUNG TING YIN delivered a teasing cross, but AU SHUN KA couldn't keep her close-range effort down. The deadlock was finally broken in the 34th minute when FUNG TING YIN produced a moment of magic. The striker rifled an unstoppable shot from outside the box that flew into the top corner, leaving HERNANDEZ DIAZ IRIS rooted to the spot. Lucky Mile almost hit back on the stroke of half-time, but CHAN TSZ YIU pulled off a spectacular save to deny IPPOLITO EMMA's goal-bound effort, ensuring Kitchee went into the break with a slender 1:0 lead.
Kitchee came out firing in the second half and quickly doubled their advantage. AU SHUN KA latched onto LUONG HEI MAN's perfectly weighted pass and hammered home from a tight angle, leaving HERNANDEZ DIAZ IRIS with no chance. Despite the setback, Lucky Mile showed resilience. In the 54th minute, IPPOLITO EMMA dispossessed a Kitchee defender and burst into the box, but the onrushing keeper was quick off her line to smother the danger. Kitchee put the game beyond doubt in the 59th minute. During a goalmouth scramble following a corner, AU SHUN KA showed predatory instincts to poke home from close range, making it 3:0.
The floodgates were now well and truly open. In the 65th minute, TANG TSZ WAN swung in a pinpoint corner, and LUONG HEI MAN rose highest to power home a thunderous header, extending Kitchee's lead to four. The rout was completed in the 72nd minute when Lucky Mile keeper HERNANDEZ DIAZ IRIS spilled a cross, allowing the opportunistic KO YAU to tap into an empty net. The final whistle blew with Kitchee securing an emphatic 5:0 victory and all three points.
