Marre United produced 3.74 xG and scored five, also outperforming the estimate, though by a smaller 1.26 goals. The gap in chance creation was the telling figure: Marre United recorded 19 shots, with 12 on target, compared with five shots and four on target for Bedon Town. Near-equal possession did not mean equal control of the dangerous moments. Bedon Town made its limited attacking opportunities count, but Marre United kept supplying pressure until the arithmetic became difficult to ignore.

The first goal gave Bedon Town an encouraging start, and Eric Moreau’s finish, set up by Julio Cortes, briefly put the hosts ahead. Marre United answered through Pedro Ferreira before Christian Favre’s goal at 45' gave the visitors the lead. After the break, Eduardo Hernandez extended it, and John Bailey’s response for Bedon Town restored a hint of uncertainty. It did not last: Ferreira scored again at 71', then Karl Bourke added the fifth at 87'. The sequence was less a single decisive blow than a steady accumulation, which is how a match can drift away while possession remains almost perfectly respectable.

The ratings reflect the visitors’ greater attacking return. Ferreira finished twice, while Hernandez and Bourke each contributed a goal and an assist; Favre added a goal and an assist of his own. For Bedon Town, the effort yielded two goals, but no player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher. Marre United leave with a clear win and a substantial advantage in chances created; Bedon Town can point to its efficiency in front of goal, though five shots offered little margin for anything less than near-perfect finishing.

No Bedon Town players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
