Enfield Town secured a convincing 4-2 victory over AFC Hornchurch in a friendly encounter that largely aligned with pre-match expectations, as the home side's forty percent win probability proved accurate. The hosts dominated the opening period through goals from A. Bansal-McNulty in the thirteenth minute and a Trialist player in the thirty-first, establishing a commanding two-goal cushion before the interval. AFC Hornchurch mounted a second-half comeback with strikes from B. Kelman and J. Kizzi around the hour mark, briefly threatening an upset, but Enfield Town proved too strong in the final stages.

The decisive moments came late when J. Moses restored Enfield Town's lead in the seventy-first minute before T. Avgoustidis sealed the result with a goal in the ninetieth minute. The match demonstrated Enfield Town's superior control throughout, particularly in their clinical first-half performance, while their late-game composure ensured they saw out the comeback attempt from their visitors. This result provided a solid workout for both sides during the pre-season period.
