Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Easteham United recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, a figure that leaves little room for debate about the hosts’ attacking output. Shilmswoot produced 2.84 xG from thirteen shots, ten on target, and scored four times: one goal above the chance-quality estimate. That is a mark of strong finishing on the day, rather than evidence that the visitors simply created four goals’ worth of chances by the measure used here. Their 53 per cent possession was only a modest edge, but the shot count and accuracy show how effectively they turned that control into pressure. Easteham United had four corners and more recorded dribbles, but neither number brought a shot; the possession was present, while the threat was not.

• Easteham United had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Uwe Peters (7.5) - Provided assists for three of Shilmswoot’s goals, shaping the visitors’ scoring across the match.
• Germano Ramos (7.3) - Scored once and assisted Kenzo Ito, contributing at both ends of the decisive second goal.

The goals arrived at useful intervals for Shilmswoot: Daniel Anderson opened the scoring before half-time, Kenzo Ito struck soon after the restart, and Germano Ramos and Fabio Costa added late finishes. The timing kept the visitors’ advantage moving in one direction and gave Easteham United no route back into the contest. Uwe Peters assisted three goals, while Germano Ramos supplied both a goal and an assist; the supporting work was as clear as the final score.

For Easteham United, the numbers describe a difficult day without needing much embellishment: zero shots, 0.01 xG and a 0 - 4 defeat. Their 47 per cent possession and 83 per cent pass accuracy offered some evidence of time on the ball, but not of a way through Shilmswoot’s defence. The visitors, meanwhile, were efficient enough to finish above their xG and persistent enough to keep testing the goal. Four goals separated the sides, and the statistics make plain that the gap was built on chances as well as conversion.
