No Alsteacey City player reached a rating of 7.0.

Five different episodes of the match supplied the goals, with Toledo involved in the opener and three assists and Nikić adding a brace. The late strikes at 82' and 90' made an already decisive result broader still, while Alsteacey City never found a way to turn possession into a shot on target. The visitors did have more corners and completed passes at a higher rate, but those figures offered little consolation against the disparity in shots and xG.

Discipline was another conspicuous feature: Harton Stanley collected five yellow cards, compared with one for Alsteacey City, despite winning by five. The hosts also made 14 tackles to the visitors’ six, while the visitors recorded more dribbles. In the end, the match offered a neat reminder that possession can be an attractive statistic and still fail to disturb the goalkeeper. Harton Stanley converted its attacking advantage into a 5 - 0 win; Alsteacey City left with the ball often, and the chances rarely.
