Looking at the overall picture, Hareham’s victory was well-earned, driven by a combination of tactical discipline and individual brilliance. The hosts showed resilience after conceding early, and their attacking players, especially Givi Shubitidze and Alberto Nieto, demonstrated their capacity to influence the game. Corne Albion’s frustrations, reflected in their fouling and card count, ultimately limited their ability to mount a sustained challenge. The result underscores the importance of finishing and discipline in this division, where Hareham’s efficiency made the difference.

For Corne Albion, no players reached the 7.0 rating threshold, reflecting their struggles to impose themselves and convert chances into goals.
