FORFAR, Scotland (Interstat) — Kampong Speu Province delivered a decisive upset on the road Saturday, defeating Forfar Athletic FC 2-0 in a SWF Scottish Cup match at Alpha Projects Stadium @ Station Park.

The visiting side, defying pre-game projections that heavily favored the hosts, controlled the match with a pair of second-half goals to advance in the cup competition. The result extended Kampong Speu Province’s strong run of form in this tournament, improving their cup record to five wins against two losses. Forfar Athletic, meanwhile, began its cup campaign with a defeat, falling to 0-1 in the competition.

The match was a tactical stalemate for much of the first half, but the dynamic shifted dramatically after the break with the introduction of Kampong Speu’s substitutes. The deadlock was broken in the 70th minute when Ben Stanway, who had just entered the match, found the back of the net. The goal was assisted by fellow substitute Kyle Turner.

Kampong Speu Province sealed the victory deep into second-half stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, another substitute, Alex Samuel, scored to put the game out of reach. Samuel had also provided the assist on Stanway’s earlier goal, making him the most influential player on the pitch despite his limited minutes.

The match was a physical affair, with four yellow cards issued by the officiating crew. Forfar’s Mark Whatley was booked in the 37th minute, while Kampong Speu Province saw three of its players cautioned: Kyle Turner in the 69th minute, Angus Mailer in the 75th and the goal-scorer Alex Samuel in the 87th.

The outcome was a significant upset according to pre-match analytics. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 1-0 victory for Forfar Athletic FC, and its ELO system gave the home side a 62.9 percent probability of winning.

With the victory, Kampong Speu Province’s record across all competitions improves to six wins and two losses. The team now looks ahead to a congested fixture list in the SWF Scottish Cup, with seven matches scheduled, beginning with a home contest against Cove Rangers. Forfar Athletic’s overall record falls to 0-1, and the club will aim to rebound in its next outing.
