• Maurice Simon (7.2) - Added a late goal, showing his effectiveness in front of goal.
• Stephen Pearce (7.0) - Consistent in midfield, helped maintain Villa’s possession dominance.

Asham:

• Harold Jones (7.0) - The only bright spark for Asham, scoring their consolation goal with clinical precision.
• Nicolas Fernandez (6.5) - Booked early, struggled to influence the game positively.
• Mark Collins (6.5) - His yellow card reflected the tense nature of the match, but he battled hard defensively.

The statistics reveal a dominant display by Hareham Villa, especially in shot volume and accuracy, while Asham’s goalkeeping heroics kept the scoreline from being even more severe. The hosts’ high shot count and xG underline their attacking intent, while Asham’s defensive resilience was ultimately insufficient to prevent the defeat.
