Solihull Moors left Woking with a comfortable victory on Tuesday evening, the scoreline reading 0-2 at the final whistle, though the manner of the win suggested the margin could have been wider.
Solihull took control early. Chinwike Okoli was booked in the 17th minute, and Daniel Cox followed two minutes later, both cautions pointing to a Woking side under pressure and struggling to contain their visitors. Alex Whitmore's goal on 23 minutes gave Solihull a deserved lead, one that reflected their superiority in the opening period.
The second half brought further clarity. Matt Ward struck shortly after the restart to double the advantage, and from that point Woking offered little to suggest a revival was coming. The home side's hopes were further complicated by a flurry of substitutions around the hour mark, with J. Forster-Caskey and Kian Pennant introduced at 60 minutes, followed by a triple change at 70 minutes as Tobi Sho-Silva, Jacob Wakeling, Conor Wilkinson, and Lewis Baines all entered the fray.
Joseph Gbode and Steven Turner came on at 77 minutes for Solihull, allowing the visitors to manage the closing stages without undue stress. Late appearances for T. Taylor and Jamie Andrews in the 90th minute rounded off the evening's activity without altering the outcome.
Solihull were organised throughout, compact in defence and direct when moving forward. Woking, by contrast, rarely threatened and will need to regroup quickly.
