For St Malven Albion, no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded. The hosts did find two goals and put six of their eight shots on target, but the visitors’ much larger shot count shaped the contest and ultimately the result. Melsorke Town were not especially busy in possession, nor did they need to be: 47% of the ball was enough to build a clear attacking advantage. Five yellow cards marked a briskly contested evening, with none of them changing the numbers on the pitch. After a first half that produced five goals between the sides, St Malven Albion stayed within reach at 3-2; Melsorke Town then held that scoreline until Fiore supplied a final, tidy piece of arithmetic at 90 minutes.
