Next Stay Close ✕ Heading into the encounter, Casric boasted a stronger head-to-head record, having secured three wins and two draws from their previous five meetings with Orbit. As has been the case throughout the mini-tournament, goals remained elusive. Supporters had to wait until the 80th minute for the game's first real moment of attacking quality—a decisive strike from Mabele, whose deflected shot found its way through a congested Casric defense to hand Orbit the lead. Earlier Casric had displayed plenty of attacking intent during a lively first half, but their efforts in the final third lacked composure. Despite dominating possession and pushing forward, their inability to deliver the final pass meant they failed to create any meaningful chances.
