“Jordan Buckley opens the scoring against the run of play, giving United a shock early lead despite Worksop's territorial dominance.”
Pivotal“Michael Donohue doubles United's advantage right before half-time, compounding Worksop's frustration after a flurry of corners.”
Pivotal“Matthew Grivosti rounds off the scoring late on, converting after sustained Worksop pressure finally broke down into another United counter.”
Worksop Town dominated territorially from the first whistle, racking up 122 dangerous attacks to United's 39 and controlling 71% of possession, yet found themselves staring at a three-goal deficit by full-time. United of Manchester's efficiency was staggering - just five shots produced three goals, with Jordan Buckley and Michael Donohue punishing Worksop inside the first 36 minutes before Matthew Grivosti sealed it late on. The hosts peppered the box with nine corners and twelve shots but could only muster three on target, undone by a United defence and goalkeeper that made all three saves count. This is a damaging cup exit for Worksop despite their control of the game, while United's clinical away-day finishing will give them real belief heading into the next round.
