Wanderers' goal came from a slightly over-performing chance, but their ability to create nine corners and maintain a high pass accuracy (80%) kept the pressure on the hosts. Meanwhile, Leigath Rovers' 52% possession and five shots on target suggest they had their moments, but lacked the cutting edge or perhaps the composure to turn those into goals. The game’s outcome was a reflection of Wanderers’ efficiency and Leigath Rovers’ struggles to make their chances count.
