• Maintained a goal difference of 0, indicating defensive resilience
• Total goals scored and conceded equal, showcasing balanced gameplay
• Emphasized team contribution with multiple players contributing in various ways

While individual statistics for the top players—Antonio Castelli, Jorge Gonzalez, Jorge Alvez, Allan Carroll, and Eric Hussain—show no goals or assists, their contributions in terms of teamwork and versatility were vital. These players exemplified the club's collective spirit, contributing in multiple ways beyond just scoring, and embodying the foundational ethos of the team.

Thalling's primary focus moving forward should be enhancing offensive potency and consistency in attack, as well as tightening defensive organization to convert draws into wins.

Additionally, increasing individual contributions in terms of goals and assists can help turn close matches into victories.
