For Saxte Rovers, the result was not merely a matter of finishing above expectation: their 16 shots and 14 on target reflected sustained attacking control, even with possession shared evenly. Thort City avoided a rout in the possession column and edged the corners count, but those small consolations could not disguise the absence of a single attempt. The final 8-0 score faithfully records the night’s central fact: one side kept finding the goal, and the other never found a shot.
