The match was a tale of two halves, with St Ausey dominating the shot count and creating a higher xG (4.08) compared to Beccle Palace’s 1.38. The visitors’ 18 shots, with 15 on target, contrasted sharply with the home team’s modest six shots, five on target. Beccle Palace’s possession was slightly higher at 53%, but their attempts rarely threatened the goal, as evidenced by their lower xG. Meanwhile, St Ausey’s ability to maintain pressure and create high-quality chances was reflected in their three goals, scored at 17', 51', and 90'. The game’s tactical narrative was clear: the visitors’ relentless attacking, combined with their higher number of dribbles (12 to 9), kept the Beccle Palace goalkeeper busy, resulting in ten saves. The hosts fought hard, but their defensive resilience was tested by the visitors’ precision and persistence.

Despite the absence of standout individual ratings above 7.0, the game’s flow and outcome suggest a team effort from St Ausey. Their players’ ability to maintain high pass accuracy (85%) and their tactical discipline in winning more tackles (12 to 7) were crucial. Beccle Palace showed moments of promise, particularly in their passing game, but lacked the cutting edge in front of goal. The yellow cards at 33' and 48' added a layer of tension, yet neither side saw red. As the final whistle blew, the statistics confirmed that St Ausey deserved their win, having outshot, outcreated, and outperformed the hosts in key areas.

No players from Beccle Palace reached the 7.0+ threshold, but the home side’s efforts in possession and passing were notable. From St Ausey, the team effort was evident, though no individual stood out with a rating above 7.0. The collective performance was enough to secure victory, with the team’s attacking efficiency and defensive resilience making the difference.
