Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
West Ham United U21
West Ham United U21 struggled to impose themselves, conceding twice in the first half and never recovering momentum. Their attacking efforts were stifled, and a second-half red card ended any realistic hopes of a comeback. Though they showed flashes of competitive spirit, discipline proved costly, and their inability to respond to Brighton’s goals ultimately defined their performance.
Key Players

Weaknesses
Tactical Analysis
With lineups and formations unavailable, Brighton’s approach was nonetheless clear: aggressive pressing and swift transitions in attack, particularly effective in the closing stages of the first half. Their ability to capitalize on West Ham’s lapses proved decisive. Brighton’s defensive shape remained compact, allowing them to absorb pressure and spring forward when opportunities arose. West Ham, meanwhile, struggled to build attacking momentum and were forced deeper after conceding twice in quick succession. The red card in the second half forced a tactical retreat, limiting their ability to chase the game and leaving them vulnerable to Brighton’s late surge.
Turning Point
Brighton’s second goal in the 40th minute, coming just five minutes after the opener, broke West Ham’s resistance and set the tone for the remainder of the match.
