Marn Albion 2 - 3 Woolmouth

Marn Albion lost 2-3 to Woolmouth after a match in which the hosts had more shots, more corners and the stronger xG, but the visitors made four attempts count for three goals.

The opening quarter-hour offered little time for either side to settle into a neutral arrangement: Philippe Robert put Marn Albion ahead at 12', and Nilson Pires replied for Woolmouth three minutes later. Philippe Robert then gave the visitors the lead at 28', before Nilson Pires added their third shortly after the break. Marn Albion had to pursue the game from there, and its higher shot count and corner advantage show that it kept pressing rather than simply accepting the arithmetic.

Nilson Pires pulled one back at 79', with Phillip Lewis assisting, and the two late yellow cards for Marn Albion arrived as the contest tightened. Still, Woolmouth held on for a 3-2 win despite having less possession and fewer attempts. The result rewards the visitors’ remarkable conversion and leaves Marn Albion with the more persuasive chance volume but the less useful column on the final scoreline. In Division 5 League 10, the numbers supplied the irony without needing to raise their voices.
