There was enough resistance from Bexham to make the scoreline less comfortable than a simple procession: Luis Pinto pulled one back just before the break, and Lindomar Da Silva did so again late on. Yet each home goal was followed by another Stante Town response, with Michel Lemoine restoring the three-goal margin a minute after Lindomar Da Silva had scored. The visitors also finished with three yellow cards to Bexham’s one, a small disciplinary subplot in a match whose main argument was being conducted at the other end of the pitch.

For Bexham, the possession and attacking volume offered some foothold, but not enough protection against the visitors’ much higher tally of shots on target. Stante Town were not flawless against an xG estimate of 3.19, but their finishing turned a strong chance profile into five goals and a clear win. The final score was 5-2, with both home goals answered and no ambiguity left for the arithmetic.
