The match’s shape shifted decisively after the break: Weston-Ard equalised two minutes after the 56th-minute booking, then moved ahead through Michel Lemoine in the 78th. The visitors’ advantage in shots on target and tackles gives substance to the sense that they were the more assertive side, even if the ball spent slightly more time with Burnalins Park. Possession, as ever, is a measure of who had the ball, not a sworn statement about what they did with it.

Still, Burnalins Park avoided a defeat that looked increasingly possible once Weston-Ard went in front. Philippe Robert’s 90th-minute goal restored parity, and the final 2 - 2 reflects both the visitors’ greater chance volume and the hosts’ refusal to let the late lead stand. The result leaves no winner, but it does give each side a clear account of the afternoon: Weston-Ard will look at the chances it created, while Burnalins Park can point to a timely finish when the game was nearly decided.
