Manager Martin Ho fielded a mix of veterans and new recruits, including captain Drew Spence, in a performance described as tactically disciplined. The win places Spurs at the top of the table temporarily, though analysts note the early stage of the season. The match highlighted the team's improved midfield control and pressing intensity, contrasting with their men's team's recent struggles.
