The possession split was relatively close, but the shot count was not: Tidge Albion had 53% of the ball and six times as many attempts as Staidge Vale. The visitors won more corners and completed more dribbles, evidence of activity that did not translate into a comparable threat on goal. Both sides recorded 85% pass accuracy, leaving the decisive difference less in keeping the ball than in what happened when Tidge Albion got forward. Four yellow cards for Staidge Vale also marked a more disrupted afternoon than the hosts’ two, though neither side had a player sent off.

At 4-0 by half-time, Tidge Albion had already built a commanding lead; Philip Holland’s goal seven minutes after the restart extended it further. Staidge Vale found a reply through Pedro Rubio at 75', but by then the result was settled. A 6-1 scoreline, four goals from one player and a substantial gap between the teams’ shot totals leave little mystery about the winner. Tidge Albion were the more dangerous side throughout, and Holland supplied the finishing that made the difference impossible to miss.
