Worpinslempton 2 - 6 Crand Straide

The scoreline ran well ahead of the chance-quality estimate, though not without a foundation. Crand Straide recorded 3.1 xG and scored six, an over-performance of 2.9 goals; Worpinslempton scored twice from 1.79 xG, a much narrower over-performance of 0.21. The visitors’ 14 shots, 11 on target, gave their attack a consistent supply of opportunities, while the hosts put all seven of their attempts on target. The difference was not simply access to goal, then, but the extraordinary conversion of Crand Straide’s chances, with Fischer providing four of the six finishes.

For a time, Worpinslempton had reason to believe the match might become a different sort of afternoon: after Fischer opened the scoring, Vladimir štimac and Luca Colombo put the hosts ahead by the 21st minute. Crand Straide answered before the half-hour and scored three times between the 26th and 35th minutes to reclaim control. Fischer added another after the break, and Khadim Diakhate completed the scoring in the 80th minute. The hosts’ two goals were real resistance, but the visitors’ response made the final 2-6 a clear account of where the match went.
