No players from Bury Lyth Town recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The shape of the match was set before the interval: Rottlash Vale scored in the 4th minute, then added three more before the half had run its course. Matthew Cook assisted Yong Cheng for both of Cheng’s goals, and also collected a booking; a busy contribution, with the usual administrative drawback. Bury Lyth Town did not let the scoreline end the contest quietly, scoring in the 73rd and 85th minutes to make the closing stages more uncomfortable than the first half had suggested.
Still, Rottlash Vale held on for the 4-2 win. The visitors matched the hosts on shots on target and came close to their xG expectation, but their two goals could not unwind the damage done by the home side’s early finishing. Rottlash Vale had the advantage in possession, shots, corners and dribbles, and made that control count decisively before the match became a test of how long a four-goal cushion could remain comfortable.
