No Pongton County players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The possession was evenly split and the corners level, but Walton found a more productive route through the match. The hosts scored twice before half-time, then Sylla added goals in the 61st and 71st minutes to complete his hat-trick and leave no doubt about the result. The four-goal margin was emphatic, even if Pongton County’s shot count and xG say they had opportunities to make the story less straightforward. Walton leave with the 4-0 win; Pongton County leave with the curious statistical distinction of creating the better estimated chances and scoring none of them.
