Zian Flemming, who was unfortunate to drop out of the starting line-up, offered the perfect response to his omission by starting from the bench and making an immediate impact when brought on. His entrance injected energy and urgency, underscoring a clear quality gap in the squad’s forward options. While Flemming answered the call with a lively cameo, the broader issues within both defensive and attacking units remained evident.
Defensively, lapses at critical moments exposed vulnerabilities in transition and organization, inviting pressure from the opposition and limiting clean-sheet potential. Offensively, several valued chances were squandered or misdirected, highlighting a need for better composure and decision-making in final-third situations. The analysis suggests that while individual resilience shone through, collective discipline and tactical coherence at both ends require attention to restore balance and consistency.
Key takeaway: a spirited individual performance can't fully compensate for systemic gaps, and strengthening both defense and attack is essential for sustained success.
