The sequence of goals explains the shape of the result. Eppen struck in the 38th minute and again on the stroke of half-time, then added two more after the break; by the time John Bailey scored for Aruthetby in the 71st minute, the visitors had already built a four-goal cushion. Aruthetby did have more possession and completed passes more accurately, but Eppen’s 11 tackles and nine corners point to a side that repeatedly won the ball back and carried the contest into dangerous areas. The hosts’ 13 dribbles offered a different route forward, though not enough to change the balance of the match. A 4-1 win for Eppen Wanderers was emphatic; the ball was shared, but the useful chances were not.
