EAST KILBRIDE, Scotland (Interstat) — East Kilbride crushed Clyde 5-0 on Saturday in a Scottish League Two match at The Ross Commercial Finance K Park Stadium, marking a dominant start to both teams’ seasons.

John Robertson opened the scoring just two minutes into the contest, capitalizing on an early chance to put the home side ahead. Forward Connor Young doubled the lead in the 24th minute and struck again in the 38th minute, giving East Kilbride a three-goal cushion at halftime. Midfielder Jack Leitch added a fourth in the 64th minute, and defender Sean Fagan completed the rout in the 78th minute with a goal of his own.

Fagan was the most influential player on the pitch, recording one goal and one assist. Young’s brace paced the attack, while Leitch and Robertson each found the net once. Sam Campbell and Jordan McGregor each contributed an assist, and substitute Aiden Mcginley also picked up an assist despite receiving an early yellow card.

Discipline was a minor issue for the home side. Mcginley was booked in the 17th minute, Campbell in the 28th, McGregor in the 54th and Fagan in the 79th. Clyde failed to earn any cautions.
