Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Gridgwatfiel scored six from an xG of 3.89, a substantial overperformance of 2.11 goals. That reflects a finishing display that went beyond the quality and quantity of the chances estimated, but the underlying attacking pressure was convincing too: 19 shots, 13 on target, and 54% possession. Selinfield finished with 0.11 xG and no shots on target, so their failure to score was in keeping with a match in which they produced almost no threat. The visitors did win four corners to Gridgwatfiel’s three, but that isolated advantage did little to alter the broader pattern.

The scoreline was built early: Peter Nielsen struck in the ninth and 14th minutes, and Fulvio Molinari added a third before the match had reached 20 minutes. Gridgwatfiel had already made the contest lopsided before the first half was half over, then Harry van der Meer extended the lead shortly before the break. The goals came from several sources, with assists from Ruben Verhoeven, Brian Hansen and Pablo Martinez helping turn sustained pressure into a clear advantage.

Pablo Martinez added the fifth four minutes after half-time, with Peter Nielsen returning the favour as provider. Nataniel Lourenço completed the scoring in the 68th minute, and the remaining time brought no reply from Selinfield. The six-goal margin was not merely a product of unusually clinical finishing: Gridgwatfiel dominated the shots-on-target count and held the visitors to one effort, while possession and passing accuracy were comparatively close. In the end, Gridgwatfiel made its control count; Selinfield had the corners, but the scoreboard kept a more persuasive record.
