The visitors struck in the seventh minute through Willi Schneider, assisted by Nilson Pires, then doubled their lead when Zdravko Ivanišević finished Michel Lemoine’s assist in the 28th. Wastloch Wanderers answered before half-time: Omar Sosa scored in the 40th minute and again on 45', this time with Diego Silva supplying the assist. The turnaround continued after the break, as Diego Silva scored from Khadim Diakhate’s pass, then Andres Araya added two goals assisted by Lindomar Da Silva. The match had begun with Roth Stanley ahead; by the time the scoring stopped, their early advantage had become a footnote with unusually good timing.

The chance-quality figures support the final score, while also showing that Wastloch Wanderers edged beyond what their opportunities might usually yield: 5 goals from 4.53 xG, an over-performance of 0.47. Roth Stanley scored twice from 1.3 xG, also finishing above expectation, by 0.70. The hosts’ 21 shots, including 16 on target, gave them a much broader stream of chances than the visitors’ five attempts, all on target. Possession was comparatively close at 53%-47%, but the shot count was not: Wastloch Wanderers turned their modest share of the ball advantage into sustained attacking volume, while Roth Stanley were efficient with the openings they did find. The scoreline was therefore not merely a reward for possession; it reflected the hosts’ ability to keep producing attempts and eventually overwhelm the early lead.

• No Roth Stanley players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The match’s turning point was not a single intervention so much as the hosts’ steady accumulation of pressure after going two down. Wastloch Wanderers scored five times across the final stages of the first half and the second half, while Roth Stanley could not add to their pair of early goals. The visitors showed that their chances could be converted; the hosts showed they could make far more of them. A two-goal lead is a useful possession, but in this case it had a shorter shelf life than expected.
