Larne's early control came with a physical edge. Sean Graham was cautioned in the 10th minute, and Sam Mcclelland followed him into the referee's notebook in the 19th. SP Tre Fiori stayed in the game until the closing moments of the first half, but the decisive blow landed at 44'58'' when Lusty struck for the visitors. That gave Larne a 1-0 lead at the interval and shaped the rest of the summary.
The second half became a test of game management. Larne replaced Mcclelland with Benjamin Magee at the break, while SP Tre Fiori responded with a double change at 56'11'' and added Federico Pesaresi soon after the hour. Prandelli's booking at 57'10'' underlined the tension as the home side searched for a way back.
The biggest moment after the restart came at 79'09'', when another Larne goal was cancelled after video review. Both sides then shuffled their packs again, with Lusty withdrawn at 79'25'' after his decisive contribution. In the end, the final score and main highlights outweighed any deeper stats - Larne got the result they came for, and Tre Fiori were left chasing the game for too long.
