First Half Dominance
The home side started with relentless intensity. In the 8th minute, forward Fiona Brown latched onto a through ball from Lee Alexander and slotted past the Rangers goalkeeper. Ten minutes later, midfielder Brenna Lovera doubled the lead with a stunning strike from outside the box that curled into the top corner.

Before the interval, City added two more goals. First, a corner was headed home by defender Jenna Clark, and then winger Emma Mukandi dribbled past three defenders before firing low into the net. At 4–0, the match was already beyond Rangers.
