Top Albion: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher. Couth Rovers:

• Michel Lemoine (7.0) - Supplied assists for Philippe Robert and Zdravko Ivanišević, contributing directly to two of the visitors’ three goals.

For Top Albion, the frustration is plain in the balance between control and return: 56% possession, eight corners and 13 shots produced one goal. Nilson Pires found the net in the 76th minute, but by then the hosts needed more than a late reply to unsettle a three-goal margin. Couth Rovers defended that advantage through the closing stretch, with two yellow cards among the few interruptions recorded.

The result belongs to Couth Rovers, who scored three times and kept every attempt on target, even though the xG and shot count gave Top Albion a credible case for having created more. That tension is the match’s defining detail: the hosts accumulated territory and chances, while the visitors supplied the sharper finishing and the decisive early lead. Michel Lemoine’s two assists helped make that difference concrete. Top Albion did at least end the shutout through Nilson Pires, but the comeback arrived too late to change the outcome.
