Acton 1–4 Brixton

Brixton didn't let up on the road, 4–1, and Acton never asked them to. The Larks sat 16th, Brixton 7th — a tight 6-point gap on paper. Recent form had the Larks out of sorts, Brixton blowing hot and cold. It was give-and-take territory all afternoon; the Larks 14 shots (8 on target), Brixton 12 shots (6), corners 2–5. The west London club's best sight of goal belonged to Yates-Salt, saved. The west London club will point to Clavière's effort, well held by the keeper. A low effort from Engesser gave Brixton's best sight of goal, kept out. Coker-Olaniyan went nearest for Brixton, denied by a fine save. Vexley hammered home for Brixton on 19' (0–1). Mediavilla set the table, Cardew ate, Brixton 0–2 on 26'. Engesser was the scorer for Brixton on 41' (0–3). Quintavalle drilled home for Brixton on 70' (0–4). Boutemy capitalised on Clavière's pass for the side in mustard on 77' (1–4). Fouls shared out 14–9, the Larks and Brixton both short on patience. Yates-Salt was cautioned for the Larks on 34'. Brixton's Cardew was shown yellow on 38'. The Larks' Ashitey picked up a caution on 42'. Pinkerton took an early bath for the Larks on 56'. Brixton add to the pile; the Larks add to the wondering.

A 7.8 for Drobnak, which is what you get when the only goal goes right. One of those tight ones decided by a moment — and the moment-makers are marked accordingly. Marks out of ten — Drobnak 7.8 · Egremont 7.0 · Castelnuovo 6.7 · Astbury 6.6 · Bisschop 6.6 · Daubeny 6.6 · Schlüter 6.6. The rest earned their crust in the usual fashion.
