No Witham Villa players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The statistics leave Witham Villa with the stronger possession share, passing accuracy, shot count and xG, as well as more corners and dribbles. Gatham registered more tackles, 17 to 13, and made its fewer shots count more sharply. Those details do not erase the visitors’ attacking contribution; they do explain why a side can lead the chance-quality figures and still lose by two. Gatham took the points through a ruthless first-half return, while Witham Villa were left with the busier numbers and the thinner reward.
