Easing Town: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
The four yellow cards to Ferth City were the conspicuous cost of a match they otherwise edged through their greater shooting volume and three goals. Easing Town completed more passes accurately, won more tackles and attempted more dribbles, yet those advantages did not translate into enough chances to overturn the deficit. The visitors kept the contest alive with Antonio Gutierrez’s 76th-minute goal, but Ferth City held on for a 3–2 win. It was a one-goal margin, not a comfortable afternoon: the hosts had enough attacking output to earn it, and enough bookings to make the route look less serene than the scoreline’s first glance might suggest.
