No Halton United players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The second half offered no reprieve for Halton: Ipshamswe scored six more times after the interval, with Hunter completing his hat-trick and Jacobsen finishing with three goals and two assists. The statistics show a curious split between possession and consequence: the sides were close in the ball share and even in pass accuracy, but Ipshamswe had 22 more shots and 18 on target to Halton’s zero. Halton also recorded more tackles and dribbles, details that point to effort without offering much comfort. Three yellow cards for the hosts and two for the visitors were the only interruptions in a match otherwise governed by Ipshamswe’s attack. The final score was 0 - 10, and the gap between the teams was plain in both the chances created and the number of times those chances became goals.
