Woking beat Eastleigh 3-0 on Friday afternoon in a contest that the home side controlled from the first quarter-hour onwards.
Harry Beautyman set the tone early, collecting a booking in the 16th minute as Woking pressed with an aggression that Eastleigh struggled to match. The visitors were further disrupted when Chinwike Okoli was cautioned as early as the fourth minute, leaving them to manage discipline as well as a dominant home side.
Tunji Akinola's yellow card just before the interval added to Eastleigh's accumulation of problems, and the second half brought no relief. Jake Vokins was booked on 54 minutes, and the game's decisive passage arrived shortly after when Kian Pennant opened the scoring on 60 minutes, with Steven Turner also cautioned at the same moment in what appeared to be a fractious spell.
Joseph Gbode and Temi Eweka entered from the bench for Woking around the hour mark, freshening the attack. Dale Gorman added a second in the 73rd minute, by which point Eastleigh's afternoon was effectively over. Jayden Moore and Oliver Sanderson followed as late substitutions, and T. Taylor extended the lead to three on 82 minutes before Pennant rounded off the scoring three minutes later.
Jack Turner collected two yellow cards, departing on 86 minutes, which gave Eastleigh's afternoon a fittingly chaotic close. A second booking for Vokins on 90 minutes completed a difficult day for the visitors. Woking were thoroughly worthy winners.
