Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Biston County scored six from an xG of 4.24, finishing 1.76 goals above the chance-quality estimate. Lishorn Rovers registered an xG of 1.71 but scored none, a sizeable gap between the opportunities their chances suggested and the outcome. The 18 shots to eight, and 16 efforts on target to six, point to a clear attacking advantage for the hosts; the visitors did still test the goal, but their attempts produced no return. Biston County combined volume with unusually sharp finishing, while the scoreline also reflects a match in which Lishorn Rovers failed to convert any of their own openings.
Biston County
- Luis Pinto (8.4) - Scored a hat-trick, with his second goal after the break reinforcing the hosts’ control.
- Vladimir štimac (8.1) - Scored twice and supplied the assist for Luis Pinto’s third.
- Matt Robertson (7.8) - Opened the scoring and assisted twice, contributing directly to three goals.
Lishorn Rovers
- No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
For Biston County, the match was settled early but not allowed to remain settled: Luis Pinto scored again in the 52nd minute, completed his hat-trick in the 80th, and Vladimir štimac added the sixth two minutes from time. The six-goal margin was built on sustained pressure and clinical conversion, rather than possession alone; Lishorn Rovers even won more corners, but that advantage did not translate into a goal. The visitors’ two yellow cards and Biston County’s one were the only disciplinary events, with neither side reduced to ten. On the evidence of the score, shot totals and xG, Biston County were emphatic winners, and Lishorn Rovers were left with a difficult afternoon’s arithmetic.
