Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Wadforton Athletic 3.59 xG and Heby Cold United 0.51. Five goals from 3.59 xG means the hosts finished above the estimate, while the visitors’ two shots and 0.51 xG produced no goal. The difference was not merely finishing: Wadforton Athletic put 13 of 16 shots on target, against two shots on target from two attempts for Heby Cold United. A 55-45 possession split suggests the hosts did not need overwhelming control of the ball to create a decisive advantage; their shot volume and accuracy supplied the clearer evidence of attacking command. Heby Cold United had eight corners to the hosts’ three, but that territorial foothold did not translate into comparable threat.

No Heby Cold United players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline settled into a comfortable margin well before the final whistle. Wadforton Athletic scored twice in four minutes in the first half, then added three more after the restart; the late cards changed the disciplinary record, not the direction of the match. Heby Cold United’s greater return of corners and dribbles shows that the visitors had moments of activity, but two shots offered little room for a recovery to take shape. Five goals from the hosts, none from the visitors, and a substantial gap in xG: the final account was unusually tidy, even if the route there involved a few bookings.
