Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Marland United scored six from 5.14 xG, finishing slightly above the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate while generating enough chances to make the margin look entirely earned. Aruthetby recorded 1.11 xG but no goals, a sharper contrast between opportunity and outcome. The shot figures help explain the gulf: Marland United had 21 attempts, with 20 on target, while Aruthetby managed five shots and four on target. Possession was level at 50% apiece, so control of the ball alone tells little here; the decisive difference was how often Marland United turned attacks into dangerous efforts and then into goals.
- No Aruthetby players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
For Aruthetby, seven corners and four shots on target offered some evidence of forward activity, but neither measure altered the score. Marland United needed only two corners to make six goals, a lopsided return that the corner count was not obliged to explain. The two teams also recorded similar passing accuracy and dribble totals, while the hosts’ much higher shot volume supplied the clearest statistical distinction. Three yellow cards arrived across the match, but there were no dismissals. Marland United had the result largely settled by half-time, then added one more after the break; Aruthetby could not turn its share of possession or set-piece opportunities into a reply.
