Salisbury were ruthless from the opening quarter-hour, striking twice inside six minutes through Caine Bradbury and Robbie Gallagher to set the tone for a one-sided afternoon. Despite Dulwich Hamlet holding more of the ball at 56% possession, they never translated that control into meaningful attacking threat, managing just three shots all game and failing to register a single effort on target. Salisbury's efficiency in front of goal was stark - 12 shots on target from 19 attempts - and they kept adding to their tally in the second half through Luke Russe, Richard McIntyre and Nathan Odokonyero to turn a comfortable lead into a statement victory. For Salisbury this is the kind of cup form that breeds confidence heading into the next round, while Dulwich Hamlet will need to quickly regroup after a result that offers little positive to take forward.
