Match Performance Review: Player Ratings

**Phallon Tullis-Joyce (5/10):**
Tullis-Joyce faced a challenging situation with Taylor’s effort, as she was unsighted due to a crowd of players during a corner. She managed to handle Villa’s otherwise moderate attempts with relative ease.

**Jayde Riviere (6/10):**
Riviere added some offensive momentum to the team, although her delivery lacked consistency.

**Dominique Janssen (5/10):**
Janssen found herself caught out of position a few times but was supported by her center-back partner and the covering Miyazawa.

**Maya Le Tissier (6/10):**
Le Tissier engaged in a fierce contest with player of the match Kirsty Hanson, physically matching up well and executing timely recovery tackles.

**Gabby George (4/10):**
George struggled to create any offensive threat and was substituted in the 55th minute.

**Hinata Miyazawa (6/10):**
Miyazawa made a crucial covering tackle that prevented Villa from increasing their lead and had difficulty controlling the game in possession.

**Lisa Naalsund (4/10):**
Naalsund was substituted before the hour mark, becoming another casualty of Villa’s solid defensive structure.

**Ella Toone (5/10):**
Toone had a limited impact on the game until a chance in the box was cleared off the line.

**Jess Park (4/10):**
Park seemed to float in and out of the match, showing minimal signs of the attacking threat she has exhibited earlier in the season.

**Fridolina Rolfo (4/10):**
Rolfo made one notable run in the first half, but her subsequent shot with her weaker foot was disappointing, and she otherwise remained ineffective. She was substituted before the 60-minute mark.

**Elisabeth Terland (5/10):**
Terland received minimal service during the match before being taken off in the 55th minute, which was a frustrating experience for her.

**Melvine Malard (6/10):**
Malard brought a physical presence to the box, contributing to a near-goal for Toone. Her dynamic runs challenged the Villa defense.

**Anna Sandberg (6/10):**
Sandberg held possession well in the attacking third, delivering a well-placed cross for Williams that could have led to a breakthrough.

**Leah Galton (5/10):**
Galton managed a headed attempt that was poorly directed and did not contribute much otherwise.

**Julia Zigotti Olme (4/10):**
Zigotti Olme had little to report; while she was competent with the ball, like many teammates, she failed to provide a sustained attacking threat.

**Rachel Williams (N/A):**
Williams had a headed opportunity as time was running out but could have performed better with her chance.

**Mark Skinner (4/10):**
Skinner’s side appeared to lack the attacking vigor they have shown throughout the season. Although some substitutes made a difference, it was insufficient to penetrate the visitors’ steadfast defense.
