For Leigh City, the match was a forceful demonstration that control need not be measured by possession alone. The hosts had fewer touches of the ball by the available measure, yet produced 20 shots on target and six goals; Stephen Wright supplied the most striking finish to that efficiency. Willowbing City can point to its possession and passing accuracy, but a single shot, no effort on target and 0.11 xG leave little room for consolation in those numbers. At 6-0, the scoreline matched the gulf in threat, and the final three goals made certain the afternoon would not be remembered as merely a strong start from Leigh City.
