Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Penny Stais scored six from 3.45 xG, a substantial overperformance that speaks to unusually clinical finishing on top of an already strong supply of chances. Twelve of their 16 shots were on target, so this was not a case of six goals arriving from a handful of speculative attempts. St Redge recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, a figure that leaves little room for debate about which side created the danger. The 49-51 possession split is the curious detail: possession was almost level, but it brought no attempt at goal for the visitors. Penny Stais made its time on the ball markedly more productive, while the scoreline kept growing long after the game’s basic shape had become clear.

The opening goal came in the seventh minute, and Roger Tremblay doubled the lead before the half-hour. Guy Ward struck again before the break, then completed a hat-trick with the last goal at 78'. Between those bookends, Tremblay added his second and Irakli Khachishvili made it five. The sequence gave St Redge little opportunity to settle, and the absence of a single shot meant there was no attacking response to alter the afternoon’s direction. Penny Stais also had the edge in corners and tackles, while St Redge’s higher pass accuracy and slightly greater possession remained tidy numbers attached to a difficult day.

• No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher for St Redge.

Penny Stais finished with six goals from six different stretches of pressure, though three belonged to Ward and two to Tremblay. The gap between xG and the final score suggests the hosts finished well above the chances’ expected return; the gap between the teams’ shot totals explains why St Redge never found a way back into the contest. A 6-0 result can make a match sound simple. Here, Penny Stais made the scoring look simple, while the route to goal was supported by 12 shots on target and a complete absence of opposition attempts.
