Jack Veale was the standout performer, scoring twice for the home side. Jasper Payne also found the net to complete the scoring. The visitors' task was made harder when Luke Salter was shown a red card in the 82nd minute.
Cardiff MET controlled the game from the outset. The opening goal came from Jack Veale, who later added a second to secure his brace. Jasper Payne's contribution made it three, capping a dominant team display. Briton Ferry struggled to create clear chances and their frustration culminated in Luke Salter's late dismissal.

The three points are vital as Cardiff MET aims to close the gap at the top of the table. They currently trail leaders Barry Town by six points.

This victory against a direct rival helps consolidate their position in the upper mid-table.
