The visitors, meanwhile, struggled to get beyond the halfway line, with only a handful of dribbles and a passing accuracy that was marginally better than their opponents.

The hosts capitalized on the chaos, with goals from Jonathan Mackay, Robert Paterson, and Daniel Da Silva, each illustrating the attacking versatility of Frowdle End. The midfield maestro Salvatore Battaglia played a pivotal role, earning a rating of 7.0+ for his two assists and steady presence. With no standout performers from the visitors, the match was a showcase of Frowdle End’s collective strength and clinical finishing, leaving little doubt about the final scoreline.
The statistics reinforce the narrative: Frowdle End’s superior finishing and tactical discipline rendered Prenton City impotent, with the visitors’ only notable contribution being their defensive resilience in terms of tackles and pass accuracy.
