Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Mardwood City scored three from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.53 xG, a close return that reflects the volume and quality of the visitors’ opportunities. Hington United scored once from 1.82 xG, finishing below the estimate despite putting six of nine shots on target. The difference was less about one side monopolising possession—though Mardwood City had 58%—than about turning sustained attacking pressure into a greater stream of dangerous attempts. The hosts did find a response through Israel Morales after the break, but the 73rd-minute goal restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion. With 12 shots on target to the hosts’ six, Mardwood City had more ways to make its advantage count.

• Hington United: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Lindomar Da Silva (7.3) - Scored the opener and assisted Friedrich Unger’s goal, contributing directly to two of Mardwood City’s three.

The 3-1 scoreline leaves Hington United with a useful reminder that getting shots on target does not automatically make the afternoon straightforward for the goalkeeper at the other end. Mardwood City, meanwhile, paired cleaner passing and more adventurous dribbling with a sizeable advantage in attempts. The hosts won more corners and made more tackles, but those figures did not offset the visitors’ attacking weight. After the 51st-minute goal offered Hington United a route back, Mardwood City answered with another goal rather than allowing the contest to tighten. It was a composed away performance: not flawless, but sufficiently productive that the final 1-3 required little argument.
