Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Margh Park recorded 4.51 xG and scored nine, an over-performance of 4.49 goals; Chord City had 0.26 xG and scored none. The visitors were exceptionally clinical, but the underlying chance picture still points to a one-sided attack: they had 19 shots, 17 on target, against Chord City’s single attempt. Chord City had more possession, 60 per cent to 40, yet that control did not translate into meaningful threat. Margh Park’s efficient finishing turned a dominant supply of chances into a remarkable scoreline, while the hosts’ possession was largely without an attacking dividend.

The early goals set the pattern, with Margh Park scoring three times in the opening ten minutes and continuing to find routes through the match. Adriano De Faria was involved in seven goals, scoring twice and assisting five, and Malaquias Fernandes added two goals and two assists. The second-half goals ensured there was no late change of direction; the contest had already become a matter of how high the total would climb. Four corners apiece offered no hint of the gulf, but the shot count did. Chord City completed more dribbles and tackles, and passed with slightly greater accuracy, yet those figures could not compensate for the visitors’ repeated access to goal.
