Match Overview

Albion started brightly, pressing high and forcing Torque into early errors. Their efforts were rewarded in the 15th minute when a corner kick was headed home by a central defender, giving the home side a deserved lead. However, Torque responded with composure, equalising just before half-time through a well-struck volley from the edge of the box. The second half saw Torque take control, and they grabbed the winner in the 67th minute with a clinical counter-attack that caught Albion’s defence out of shape.
