Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Darnhiell’s three goals exceeded its 2.19 xG by 0.81, while Westess Rovers scored once from 2.02 xG, finishing 1.02 below its chance-quality estimate. The figures describe a more even contest in opportunity than the 3-1 score might suggest. Westess Rovers managed eight shots and put every one on target, but the single goal meant that accuracy did not translate into matching Darnhiell’s return. Darnhiell had 11 shots, seven on target, and converted enough of its chances to make the difference. Its 55% possession and greater number of corners point to a side that had more of the ball and more set-piece opportunities, while Westess Rovers’ higher tackle count suggests it spent more time disrupting than directing play.

The second-half sequence offered Westess Rovers a brief route back into the match: Salah Hassan scored in the 55th minute, and Richard Vos replied two minutes later. Darnhiell restored its two-goal margin in the 89th minute, with Hassan scoring again. That response mattered as much as the first goal; after conceding, Darnhiell did not let the game settle into a one-goal finish. The 82nd-minute booking for Vos was the only card recorded, and the teams’ foul totals remained modest at five for Darnhiell and eight for Westess Rovers.

Westess Rovers had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher. The visitors’ shot accuracy was striking, but the outcome hinged on what happened after those shots reached their destination: Darnhiell made its chances count more often. For the hosts, the early breakthrough and late insurance bracketed a game that was closer in xG than in goals, but not in the final accounting. Three goals, one reply and a second Hassan finish were enough to make the difference.
