The match’s shape was a useful reminder that equal possession is not the same thing as equal threat. Drombley matched Colee Town in possession, corners, fouls and tackles, and even edged the pass-accuracy figure. Yet the hosts found far more routes to goal, with 20 attempts to the visitors’ five. The four yellow cards, divided evenly, added some friction without changing the numbers on the scoreboard; neither side received a red card.

Colee Town had to respond after Michael Brown levelled the score in the 27th minute, and its eventual answer was emphatic in timing if not in xG conversion. Gaston Price put the hosts back in front at 76 minutes, assisted by Anthony Warren, then scored again eight minutes later. The opening goal from Ian Booth had given Colee Town an early foothold, but it was the late pair that turned a contest into a settled 3 - 1 result. On the balance of chances, the win was deserved; on the balance of possession, the match was a draw in a statistic that did not get to decide anything.
