Woking left Rochdale with a comfortable victory, the final score standing at 0-6 in the visitors' favour, as the away side dictated large portions of a one-sided afternoon.
Woking moved ahead inside the first half-hour. Kyron Gordon gave them the lead in the 24th minute, then added a second three minutes later to put Rochdale on the back foot before the match had found its rhythm. Emmanuel Dieseruvwe extended the advantage to three goals on 35 minutes, and the home side went into the interval with nothing to encourage them.
Rochdale made changes after the break, bringing on Daniel Moss at the 51-minute mark, but Woking continued to threaten. Joseph Gbode added a fourth on 61 minutes, and a flurry of substitutions from both sides did little to slow the visitors' momentum. Casey Pettit and Louis Flower came on for Woking around the hour mark, while Rochdale introduced Bryce Hosannah and Connor McBride in search of some foothold in the game.
Dieseruvwe grabbed his second of the afternoon on 74 minutes to make it five, before further changes brought on Tunji Akinola, Ian Henderson, Harry Beautyman and Jack Turner in the closing stages. The game was long settled by then.
Rochdale offered little going forward and were overrun through the middle for long stretches. For Woking, the result represented a thoroughly professional away performance, efficiently built in the first half and controlled throughout.
