The visitors’ 15 shots on target outnumbered their hosts’ total by a wide margin, and their ability to maintain possession (54%) and pass accuracy (86%) allowed them to control the tempo and craft scoring chances at will. The goals came from a well-orchestrated attack, with Michael James opening the scoring after 9 minutes, assisted by Robert Wells, who then scored himself in the 14th minute. The visitors’ clinical finishing was complemented by disciplined defending, as they kept Sandon at bay despite the hosts’ six corners and occasional forays into the final third.

In the end, the game was a demonstration of how efficiency and tactical clarity can outweigh possession and territorial dominance. Sandon’s defensive efforts, including 16 saves from their goalkeeper, were ultimately futile against Immington’s relentless attack. The visitors’ ability to convert their chances, combined with disciplined defending and effective midfield control, secured a comprehensive victory. For Sandon, it was a reminder that possession alone does not win matches, especially when the finishing touch is so lacking.
