Expected Goals (xG) Analysis:

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Bantwoorm at 3.09 xG and Berthea Rovers at 2.12. The four goals from Bantwoorm amounted to a solid overperformance of 0.91, while Berthea Rovers scored once from an estimate more than twice that figure. The visitors did not lack ways to get into threatening areas: they had nine shots, eight on target, and 14 corners. Yet the gap between that activity and the final return was decisive. Bantwoorm managed only two corners, but its 14 shots produced 11 on target and four goals. The figures suggest not a one-sided procession, but a sharper home side that converted its opportunities while Berthea Rovers left much of its attacking work without a matching reward.

• No Berthea Rovers players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The match’s key spell came just after the interval. Zlatko Filipović made it 2-0 at 48', and Berthea Rovers replied through Zdravko Ivanišević a minute later, briefly restoring some uncertainty to proceedings. That reply did not become a turning point: Borja Fernandez scored again at 73', and Luis Gutierrez completed the 4-1 result at 79'. Berthea Rovers held 52% possession and had more than enough corners to make the afternoon awkward, but Bantwoorm defended, finished, and left the visitors with a lopsided reminder that pressure and goals are related, not identical.
