No players from Otterlow reached the 7.0 rating threshold, but Nilson Pires' goal was a bright spot in an otherwise difficult outing.
Soley Orient's clinical finishing and tactical discipline proved decisive, as they outshot and outperformed Otterlow across the pitch. The visitors' defensive resilience was tested repeatedly, and despite some moments of promise, they couldn't stem the tide of goals. The hosts' attacking trio, led by Baba and Benitez, delivered a performance that bodes well for their campaign, while Otterlow will need to address their defensive lapses and finishing in future fixtures.
