Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: New Mill United scored five from 3.69 xG, exceeding the chance-quality estimate by 1.31 goals. That is a measure of strong finishing, though the volume behind it matters too: 17 attempts, with 13 on target, gave the visitors repeated opportunities to turn their attacking pressure into goals. Holeverer’s 0.01 xG and zero shots tell a starkly different story. Their 53% possession and seven corners offered some territory, but neither produced a recorded attempt. New Mill United had less of the ball and still made far more of the match’s decisive actions; possession proved an unreliable witness.

The second-half sequence made the scale of the result plain. Francisco Borges scored at 48' and again at 59', and after Holeverer’s third yellow card of the match at 61', New Mill United added two more through Edgardo Alvarez and Šimić. The visitors’ goal contributions were spread across the side: Šimić set up two and scored one, while Alvarez both scored and assisted. Holeverer, meanwhile, finished with three yellow cards and no shots, an imbalance that says more about their lack of attacking output than any shortage of effort in the duels.

New Mill United’s 5-0 win was built on a straightforward contrast: Holeverer kept slightly more possession, but the visitors generated the attempts and finished enough of them to turn a strong performance into a rout. The hosts also recorded 12 dribbles to New Mill United’s five, but those advances did not become shots or goals. The score, the chance figures and the shot count all point in the same direction. Holeverer had the ball more often; New Mill United had the match.
