The 6-0 scoreline was not a narrow reading of a close contest; Biston County scored four times before the interval and added two more after it. Brougham Stanley did have the greater possession, more corners and higher pass accuracy, but those advantages sat beside a five-shot total and a red card, while the visitors turned every one of their 15 attempts into a shot on target. The first two goals from Bruno Rossi established the direction of the afternoon, and the later goals from Luis Pinto, Nelson Conceio and Xinping Boon made the margin emphatic. For Biston County, clinical finishing and a steady supply of accurate attempts settled the matter; for Brougham Stanley, the numbers offered little comfort beyond evidence that the ball had, at times, been nearby.
