Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Kethy Argyle scored five goals from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.39 xG, an over-performance of 1.61 goals. That points to finishing above the level their chances alone would usually suggest, while 11 shots on target from 17 attempts gave their attack plenty of work to do. Raunstaver’s single goal came from 1.23 xG, a modest under-performance, and their six shots limited the opportunities to make their greater share of possession count. The visitors had the ball 54% of the time and won eight corners to Kethy Argyle’s five, but possession and corners did not translate into enough attempts to keep pace. Kethy Argyle made the more of their chances, and the five-goal return turned that difference into a wide margin.

Raunstaver had more possession, more corners and a slightly higher pass-accuracy figure, yet the visitors finished with one goal to Kethy Argyle’s five. The hosts’ lead was restored just after the interval by Mamadou Diouf, and the late goals from Frans Bakker and Gerald Anderson made a substantial victory of a match that had briefly offered Raunstaver a route back. The statistics tell of a contest with some balance in the middle; the scoreline tells what Kethy Argyle did with their chances. Those accounts can coexist, though one is considerably louder.
