No Whittling players reached the 7.0 rating threshold.

The numbers describe a curious division of labour. Whittling edged possession and recorded more shots, corners and tackles, while Muck Rovers committed more than twice as many fouls and collected four yellow cards. Yet the hosts scored three times before Whittling found the net, then added another after the visitors’ reply. That sequence gave Muck Rovers room to absorb pressure without surrendering control of the result.

For Whittling, the 4-1 defeat will be especially difficult to reconcile with the 3.37 xG and 13 shots on target: the opportunities were there, but the finishing return was not. Muck Rovers, meanwhile, took a less generous chance total and turned it into four goals, with Pedro Chagas involved in three. In the end, the hosts’ greater efficiency outweighed the visitors’ statistical advantages, and the final score stayed a clear 4-1.
