No Petcham City players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.
For Adley Wanderers, the decisive passage came in three minutes: Ross Shepherd put the hosts ahead at 34', then Massimiliano Magnani doubled the lead at 37'. That quick succession gave the home side room to manage the contest, though the two yellow cards meant the control was not entirely free of friction. Shepherd’s second goal at 75' restored a three-goal cushion after the game had moved into its later stages.
Petcham City did at least make the scoreline less emphatic when Philippe Robert scored at 84'. It was a late response rather than a sustained reversal: the visitors had more corners, but fewer shots, less possession and a lower xG total. Adley Wanderers finished with a 3-1 win that matched the broad balance of play, even if the chance estimate hints that the hosts left a little more on the table than the score suggests.
