For Guill Rangers, the two goals will offer some consolation, but the thin shot count left little margin for error once Merthames Albion began to press after the break. The hosts’ 15 fouls and four yellow cards also marked a more disruptive afternoon than the visitors’ figures suggest; they had to work hard to interrupt a side that was building more attacks and winning more corners. Merthames Albion, meanwhile, found a way through despite conceding twice and needed patience as much as quality to turn its advantage in chances into a lead that lasted. The final goal arrived with four minutes of normal time remaining, leaving Guill Rangers little time to answer. At 2-3, the result was close, but the visitors’ greater volume of chances and late finish supplied a convincing shape to the win.
