Witwham Wanderers’s attacking efficiency was underpinned by their expected goals tally of 3.79, more than double Wratinsfiel County’s 0.61. The hosts created numerous promising opportunities, with 13 shots on target, while the visitors managed only two. Despite a near-even possession split, Witwham’s ability to convert their chances was evident, especially through the prolific Gerhard Koch, who scored three times and assisted once. Wratinsfiel’s defensive organization was breached repeatedly, and their offensive efforts, limited to just three shots, failed to threaten the home goal. The tactical battle was one-sided, with Witwham’s passing accuracy of 86% enabling fluid attacking moves, while Wratinsfiel’s 84% pass accuracy was not enough to stem the tide.
The game’s key moments came early and often for the home side. Willem de Leeuw opened the scoring in the 16th minute, capitalizing on a well-placed pass from Carlos Santos. The visitors’ Xinping Boon received a yellow card in the 28th minute, a sign of their frustration mounting. The floodgates opened after the break, with Gerhard Koch netting a brace in quick succession—first in the 47th minute and then in the 60th, assisted by Gustavo Castillo and Gustavo Castillo respectively. The hat-trick was completed in the 65th minute, with Koch providing the assist to Dirk Huber. Gustavo Castillo added a fifth in the 69th minute, assisted by Gerhard Koch, sealing a comprehensive victory. The visitors’ discipline waned as they accumulated two yellow cards, but their defensive shortcomings were evident throughout.
No other players from either side reached a rating of 7.0+.
