Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sough Forest scored six from 5.53 xG, a modest over-performance that sits comfortably within the range of a side creating chances at this rate. Soudstle finished with no goals from 1.26 xG, so the gap between the score and the chance estimate was not simply a matter of the visitors failing to produce anything at all. They managed five shots, all on target, but the hosts’ 28 attempts and 18 on target tell the larger tactical story: Sough Forest repeatedly found ways to attack, while Soudstle had far less of the ball and much less room to build. The hosts’ 60% possession and 87% pass accuracy helped keep the match moving in their direction. A six-goal margin is not a rounding error, even when xG says the hosts finished a little above expectation.

• No Soudstle player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The four away bookings in the first half arrived amid a stretch when Sough Forest scored three times in 19 minutes. That is a difficult sequence for any side to absorb: the visitors had to chase the match, but the hosts kept supplying the ball and the chances. Guillermo Romero added a fourth before the break, and although he later collected a booking, Sough Forest continued to control the contest rather than settle for the lead.

The final two goals, from Manuel Dos Santos and Oscar Caraballo, made the scoreline still more decisive. The numbers show a match in which Sough Forest were not only clinical but persistent, with 18 shots on target and a clear advantage in possession. Soudstle did put all five attempts on target, a small point of resistance inside an otherwise one-sided result; the scoreboard, with admirable lack of nuance, recorded none of them as goals.
