No Alcey Rovers player reached a 7.0 rating in the recorded standout performers.
For Hey City, the two-goal burst either side of half-time supplied a platform, and the late strikes from Pedro Chagas and Nilson Pires made the final margin decisive. Alcey Rovers did respond through Michel Lemoine and kept the shot count slightly higher, so the match was not short of resistance. Yet resistance is not the same as reward, and the visitors’ single goal left their substantial share of the chances looking rather less useful than the figures promised. Hey City leave with a 4-1 win built on sharper finishing and a lively contribution from Nilson Pires; the xG numbers provide a reminder that the scoreline, while authoritative, was not the only plausible account of the contest.
