No Newbington players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

Easea Albion’s 54% possession was an advantage, but not an overwhelming one; the more telling separation came in shots, tackles and the final score. Newbington had more dribbles, 8 to 6, yet that measure did not translate into a comparable volume of attempts. The visitors’ two yellow cards, to Vladimir štimac and Moussa Doumbia, arrived around the interval and before the home side’s second goal. Easea Albion remained measured in the foul count, committing three to Newbington’s seven, and added a fourth goal through Adriano Baroni at 73'. The final 4 - 1 was therefore supported both by the scoreline and by a considerable edge in attacking volume, even if the hosts finished a little above their xG. Newbington had their moment; Easea Albion made sure it stayed a moment.
