The scoreline had been shaped early: after Rainer Müller opened the scoring, Toby Williams replied, only for Davor Batinić to restore Maington’s lead three minutes later. His second, on 22 minutes, gave the hosts room to settle, and two goals in the space of two minutes just after half-time made the advantage substantial. Matthew James reduced the deficit late, but the response arrived after Maington had already built a three-goal cushion.

Rayle Albion’s possession, dribbling and corner count show a side that had plenty of the ball and ways to move it forward; the five-shot total shows the limit of that pressure. Maington, meanwhile, paired a high volume of attempts with a markedly higher number on target and a spread of contributions from its leading performers. The visitors did find two goals, so this was no exercise in defensive silence, but the final 5-2 reflected a straightforward difference in how much each side made of its attacking moments.
