Dorking Wanderers

5.5/10

Dorking Wanderers showed determination, particularly after falling behind early, and their efforts were rewarded with an equalizer in the 65th minute. However, they struggled to maintain momentum, conceding twice in the final 15 minutes as defensive lapses proved costly. The home side lacked the cutting edge and defensive solidity needed to secure a result against a clinical Bath City outfit.

Tactical Analysis

With no lineup data available, both teams appeared to favor attacking transitions and direct play, as evidenced by the four-goal tally and the timing of the strikes. Bath City showed strong game management, responding to Dorking's pressure after the equalizer by tightening up defensively and exploiting spaces on the break. Dorking, for their part, pressed hard in the second half but left gaps at the back, which Bath exploited late on. The absence of cards suggests a match played with attacking intent and relatively few tactical fouls.

Turning Point

Bath City's goal in the 76th minute, coming just 11 minutes after Dorking's equalizer, shifted momentum decisively back to the visitors and deflated the home side.
