Dridge Wanderers had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

• Stuart Morton (7.6) - Scored twice, including the goal that gave Wornste a half-time lead.
• Omar Makharadze (7.0) - Assisted both of Stuart Morton’s second-half and first-half goals, giving Wornste a useful supply line.

For Dridge Wanderers, the comeback was built on persistence rather than a steady stream of chances. The hosts held the ball more often and completed more dribbles, yet spent much of the contest having to respond to Wornste’s sharper attacking returns. Fidel Hernandez had been booked in the 72nd minute before scoring the late equaliser, a sequence that gave his evening a distinct second act. The three home yellow cards compared with one for Wornste, while the visitors committed more fouls; neither side was reduced to ten.

Wornste can leave with two goals from Stuart Morton and two assists from Omar Makharadze, but not the win that their higher xG and greater shot count might have supported. Dridge Wanderers took a point by turning a smaller share of the attacking opportunities into three goals and refusing to stay behind. A 3-3 draw is not a tidy verdict on the balance of play; it is, at least, an accurate account of how often both defences were asked to retrieve the ball from their own net.
