Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Worpinslempton scored three from 2.83 xG, a modest over-performance of 0.17. Towenham Rangers scored twice from 4.52 xG, falling short by 2.52. The visitors’ 21 shots and 16 on target, compared with 13 and 10 for the hosts, underline how much of the attacking work they managed; the final score instead records who made more of the chances. xG is an estimate of chance quality, not a promise that the ball will follow the paperwork.

The contrast was sharp rather than mysterious: Towenham Rangers held 55% possession and had the greater shot volume, while Worpinslempton found the net three times and led 3-1 after Luis Pinto scored in the 87th minute. Weijie Hong assisted both that goal and Luca Colombo’s in the 65th, giving the hosts a reliable route from opportunity to finish. Michel Lemoine’s goal in the 90th minute made the margin one again, but could not change the result. The numbers describe a match in which the visitors threatened more; the scoreline describes a match in which threat and reward did not travel together.

• No Towenham Rangers players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.
