Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Alcomb Mal Rovers scored seven from 3.26 xG, a remarkable return well beyond the chances’ estimated quality. Their 14 shots produced 12 on target, and the finishing was ruthless: Alain Chan scored four, while Miguel Vargas added two. Rock Albion had five shots, all on target, and 1.28 xG, but found the net only once. The visitors’ 53% possession and slightly higher pass accuracy did not translate into enough pressure or control of the decisive moments. The numbers point to a match in which Alcomb Mal Rovers made far more of their opportunities, while Rock Albion had the ball more often without finding a way to stop the damage.

The opening half-hour made the scale of the task clear for Rock Albion. Alain Chan struck in the fifth minute, Miguel Vargas followed six minutes later, and Alcomb Mal Rovers had four goals by the 29th minute. Haruna Ito supplied three assists, repeatedly turning possession into direct danger; Alain Chan also set up one of Vargas’s goals. A five-yellow-card tally for the hosts adds a less elegant thread to the afternoon, though it did little to interrupt their scoring.

Jorge Cedeño made it six in the 62nd minute, and Stuart Whyte gave Rock Albion a goal in reply eleven minutes later. Alain Chan then completed the scoring in the 79th minute, sealing a four-goal personal haul and the 7-1 result. The late reply prevented a clean sheet, but not a change in the match’s direction. Alcomb Mal Rovers finished with seven goals from 14 shots; Rock Albion left with five shots and a single goal. Possession was a visitor’s statistic, but the scoreboard belonged emphatically to the hosts.

No Rock Albion player reached a rating of 7.0.
