Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The 6-0 scoreline exceeded Alforsfield Town’s 3.99 xG by just over two goals, evidence of finishing that ran well ahead of the chance-quality estimate. That gap does not make the win a fluke: the hosts put 15 of their 17 shots on target, while Cortock City managed only two attempts and 0.36 xG. The visitors edged possession, 52% to 48%, but did little with it in front of goal. In practical terms, Alforsfield Town were far more direct in turning their time on the ball into danger, and clinical enough to turn that danger into a scoreline with very little room left for debate.

• No Cortock City players reached a rating of 7.0.

The final score was emphatic, but the shape of the match was just as telling: Cortock City had the greater share of possession and more dribbles, yet Alforsfield Town made the more useful use of their opportunities. The hosts also recorded ten tackles to the visitors’ two, while committing fewer fouls. Those numbers point to a side that combined forward threat with enough defensive work to keep the visitors to a single shot on target. Cortock City were not without the ball; they were simply unable to make it count. Six goals and a clean sheet leave Alforsfield Town with a result that was both deserved and, by the end, rather difficult to dress up as a close contest.
