Westaby did respond quickly after conceding, with Kyungsoo Chae equalising three minutes after Philippe Black opened the scoring. But the hosts could not sustain that answer: Lindomar Da Silva restored Dagesh City’s lead before half-time, and Rainer Müller settled the result in the 89th minute. The final margin was two, and the visitors’ higher shot count and xG make it a result with a clear statistical foundation, rather than a triumph conjured from one stray moment.

The match also offered a neat split in styles: Westaby completed more dribbles and passed more accurately, while Dagesh City made 13 tackles to Westaby’s six. Three yellow cards for the hosts and two for the visitors marked a physical contest without a sending-off. Westaby had the ball more often; Dagesh City made better use of their opportunities to turn it into goals. The ball, as ever, was free to travel wherever it liked. The scoreline was less accommodating.
