No Maingtonhal players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
Brigh Town had the greater share of possession, the higher shot total and the more productive finishing. Maingtonhal were not short of efforts on goal, but four yellow cards and a solitary return from a respectable xG tally made for a less rewarding afternoon. The visitors did find a route back into the match through Jens Groth, assisted by Michael Brown, after conceding twice; the later goals from Zlatko Šimunović and Michael Jones then re-established the distance. In the end, Brigh Town’s 4-1 win was supported by the quality and volume of its attacking output, while Maingtonhal were left with the awkward evidence that nine shots on target can still produce only one goal.
