Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Favenwith scored twice from 1.79 xG, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate. Alstwham Town scored three from 2.09 xG, finishing substantially above its expected total. That difference points to a decisive spell of clinical execution rather than overwhelming territorial control: the visitors had 48% possession and one corner, but produced 10 shots, seven on target, and took advantage of their chances in a rapid sequence. Favenwith also put all seven of its shots on target, yet the home side’s two goals were not enough to match the visitors’ sharper finishing.

The match’s hinge came just after Allan Carroll equalised: Willi Schneider restored Alstwham Town’s lead a minute later, then scored again before the 70-minute mark. Favenwith kept the contest alive with a late goal, but the visitors had already built the margin they needed. The hosts’ greater possession, dribbling and corner count show they were active in the game; they simply could not turn that activity into enough goals to change the outcome. For Alstwham Town, three goals from a relatively lean share of the ball made the difference, while the three yellow cards were an untidy accompaniment to an efficient away performance.
