For Vendsham, the 54% possession and higher pass accuracy did not translate into a shot, let alone a goal; the numbers describe control of the ball, not control of the danger. Hest Bend were less often in possession, but their 12 shots on target and five goals tell the more consequential story. The final score was 0 - 5, and the gap between the sides was not a matter of who kept the ball longest. It was who made it count.
