The estimates suggest the finishing ran hotter than chance quality alone would predict, especially for the visitors, but the volume makes the result no statistical mirage: 30 shots, 27 on target, against just three efforts from Tratfor Albion. The visitors had 48% possession, yet controlled the match’s most consequential resource, repeatedly getting attempts away and forcing the hosts to defend. Eight corners for Tratfor Albion to Bladles Hotspur’s two offer a curious counterpoint, but corners were not where this match was decided.

• Bruno Rossi (8.1) - Two goals and an assist gave the visitors another reliable source of damage.
• Ian Lloyd (7.3) - Scored once and assisted another as the pressure continued after the break.

The 0 - 11 result leaves little room for consolation in the figures, though Tratfor Albion did have the larger share of possession and won more corners. Those measures describe where the ball went at times, not who made the game happen. With 27 shots on target, Bladles Hotspur kept the hosts under pressure for long stretches, and the four-goal final contribution from Manuel Fortes ensured that pressure became difficult to ignore.

The first four goals arrived by the 32nd minute, with Haruna Salisu and Manuel Fortes both scoring twice between them in the opening spell. After the interval, Bladles Hotspur added seven more, including three further goals from Manuel Fortes. The visitors did not merely preserve a commanding lead; they extended it in steady stages, while Tratfor Albion were unable to convert any of their three shots. It was a decisive win, and the final score—Tratfor Albion 0 - 11 Bladles Hotspur—stands plainly beside the numbers that explain it: one side produced chances in abundance, the other had no goal to show for its share of the ball.
