Expected Goals (xG) Analysis
Waley Rovers scored five from 3.49 xG, an overperformance of 1.51 goals, while Brourne City finished with none from 0.26 xG. The home side converted a strong stream of chances with particular efficiency, putting 13 of its 15 shots on target. The visitors’ single attempt was on target, but its low xG reflects how little danger that effort represented. Possession was split 50-50, yet the shot count tells the more useful tactical story: Waley Rovers made its time on the ball far more productive, repeatedly turning attacks into attempts, while Brourne City did not build enough to make its eight corners count.
Brourne City had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
Five goals, three from Gordon, and a 13-to-1 advantage in shots on target leave little doubt about the scale of Waley Rovers’ victory. The match was not won by monopolising possession or piling up corners; it was won by making attacks count. Brourne City matched the hosts’ possession and earned more corners, but those measures brought no goals and only one attempt. For Waley Rovers, the finishing ran ahead of the xG, but the volume and accuracy of the chances made the result feel thoroughly earned.
