Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sevenham Albion recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, so their possession and eight corners produced no meaningful attempt on goal. Raundston Villa posted 4.39 xG and scored five, a modest over-performance of 0.61 goals against the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. That is an efficient return, but hardly one that needs a statistical alibi: 17 of their 18 attempts were on target, and the scoring was spread across the 11th, 18th, 64th, 72nd and 82nd minutes. The contrast was tactical as well as numerical. Sevenham held 55% possession and completed passes at 85%, yet recorded zero shots; Raundston Villa had less of the ball, but converted its attacks into repeated testing of the goal.
The 0 - 5 scoreline leaves little doubt about the balance of the match, though the route there was not simply a matter of the visitors monopolising the ball. Sevenham Albion had the territorial indicators of a side involved in the game—more possession and more corners—but none of the shots that might have made those figures consequential. Raundston Villa were more direct in outcome, scoring twice before the 20th minute and adding three more after the interval. The yellow cards for Ricardo Da Cruz, Allan Carroll and Michel Lemoine provided brief interruptions, not a change of direction. By the end, Raundston Villa had converted its volume of chances into a comprehensive 0 - 5 win; Sevenham Albion had kept the ball, but not found a way to make it dangerous.
