The late reply gave Newhiple a foothold on the scoresheet, but not a route back into the match: Micheal Ahmed scored in the 81st minute, after Phillip Lewis, Luis Pereira and Mathias Kouakou had put Blangton Town three ahead. The hosts had more corners and one more tackle, details that point to effort rather than a lack of engagement; the larger differences were in dribbling, shots and the quality of chances created. For Blangton Town, the 3-1 win was a fair return on a performance that consistently made more of its forward play. Newhiple found the target often enough to suggest the match was not beyond reach in opportunity, but the scoreboard kept a rather firmer account.
