Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Alcomb Mal Rovers scored four from 4.33 xG, a slight under-performance against the chances they fashioned. That figure sits alongside 19 shots, 16 on target and a clear territorial edge in attacking output, even though possession was almost evenly split. Mallowe United scored once from 0.36 xG, making their only shot on target count, but the single attempt also shows how little sustained threat they generated. The scoreline was emphatic, and the chance profile supports it: Alcomb Mal Rovers repeatedly reached promising positions, while the visitors’ equaliser was a brief interruption rather than the start of a broader contest.

• Alcomb Mal Rovers
• Miguel Vargas (7.6) - Scored twice, including the opener and the late fourth, and was the only recorded standout performer.
• Mallowe United had no recorded players rated 7.0 or higher.

The decisive spell came after Mallowe United had drawn level: Henri Girard put Alcomb Mal Rovers back in front at 23', and Alain Chan added a third before the interval. That quick response meant the equaliser never had much time to settle into the visitors’ plans. Alcomb Mal Rovers then added a fourth through Miguel Vargas at 81', completing a result that matched the considerable gap in shots and chances. Mallowe United were close to their hosts in possession and pass accuracy, but those measures could not make up for the scarcity of attempts.
