Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Hater Athletic scored four from 2.69 xG, finishing 1.31 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is a clear measure of clinical work rather than evidence that every attempt was destined to find the net: the hosts put nine of 13 shots on target and made their opportunities count. Bereninforpon recorded 0.26 xG from a single shot, which was on target, but finished without a goal. The gap between the sides was substantial in both chance volume and quality. The visitors’ 11 corners offered a route to pressure, yet their one shot tells a rather less imposing story than that corner count might suggest. Possession was split 50-50, but equal time with the ball did not translate into equal threat.

• No Bereninforpon players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was built after the break: Hater Athletic’s first goal arrived at 58', and the next followed seven minutes later. Stuart Ross made the advantage three at 75', then added a fourth at 90', with Vasil Gaprindashvili returning the favour after his own goal. The sequence gave the closing stages a clear shape, though Bereninforpon’s corner advantage remained an inconvenient statistic for anyone hoping the match had been a straightforward case of territorial dominance.

The numbers point instead to a side that made its limited-looking platform count. Both clubs had 50% possession, and their pass accuracy was close, but Hater Athletic registered 13 shots to one and made nine of those attempts hit the target. Bereninforpon defended with fewer tackles, 9 to 14, and collected three yellow cards to the hosts’ two; neither side had a player sent off. Hater Athletic’s four goals against 2.69 xG indicate finishing above expectation, while the 0.26 xG conceded and the visitors’ single attempt offer little basis for claiming they were unlucky to leave empty-handed. The 4-0 result is exact, and the match statistics explain how a level share of possession could coexist with a decidedly uneven afternoon.
