Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Tilburnst Villa scored five from 4.23 xG, finishing 0.77 above the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. That points to sharp execution on top of a strong supply of chances: Villa registered 21 shots, 14 on target, and nine corners. Snolth scored once from 1.38 xG, 0.38 below its estimate. The visitors made their chances count less often, despite putting five of six attempts on target. Villa’s 52% possession was only a modest edge, but the shot and corner totals show how much more often the hosts turned possession into attacking pressure. Snolth’s goal at 24 minutes briefly kept the contest open; Walter’s second, nine minutes later, restored the two-goal cushion and gave Villa a firmer grip.
Wilfried Walter was central to nearly every decisive turn, with two goals and three assists recorded in the supplied player summary. Villa’s late pair of goals, from Lorenzo Ortiz and Barry Hooper, extended the margin in the final six minutes; the visitors had no reply. Snolth’s 48% possession and equal 85% pass accuracy show that the visitors were not simply unable to keep the ball, but the difference in volume was stark: 21 shots to six, and 13 tackles to six. Villa also committed fewer fouls, four to Snolth’s 11, as the hosts spent more of the match directing play than disrupting it.
- No Snolth players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The 5 - 1 scoreline reflects both Villa’s greater attacking volume and their clinical finish, while Snolth’s five shots on target explain why the visitors did at least find a route to goal. Villa did not need a possession landslide to take control; it needed Walter’s influence, a steady stream of attempts, and enough late pressure to make the final minutes rather uncomfortable for Snolth. The numbers leave little doubt about the balance of the match, and the final score records it without requiring further assistance.
