For Roteatle Albion, the early goals supplied a firm platform, and the third made the contest’s direction plain before the closing minutes. Alsdon-Sel United had slightly more possession, more corners, more dribbles and greater pass accuracy, but those advantages did not produce enough attempts to seriously match the hosts’ attacking output. The visitors did find a goal at 90 minutes through Jorge Alvez, assisted by Michel Lemoine, but it arrived too late to put the result in doubt. Roteatle Albion finished with a 3-1 win, a healthy surplus of shots and an xG figure suggesting there was room to make the margin larger. In football, as in accounting, the opportunity column can be persuasive; only the scoreline gets to sign the paperwork.
