No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded for Burchea United.
The scale of the result leaves little room for a close contest in the account of the match, even if the possession numbers might briefly have suggested otherwise. Burchea United found the net through Philippe Robert and managed two shots on target, but could not turn its time on the ball into a sustained threat. Sougham United, meanwhile, scored first, answered the home goal with a run of five more, and finished with eight different moments of celebration spread across the match. With no red cards and the final score settled at 8-1, the clearest distinction was not who held the ball, but what each side did when it had a chance to use it.
