Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Mirkhath finished with 0.91 xG and two goals, a notable overperformance against the chances created. Three of their four shots were on target, and the goals from Vladimir štimac and Luis Pinto kept the scoreline moving even as the underlying chance total remained modest. Bampton, by contrast, recorded 3.39 xG from 14 shots, with 13 on target, and scored five. That is also above the chance-quality estimate, but the volume and accuracy make the result less mysterious than the possession figure might suggest. Mirkhath had the ball more often and won eight corners; Bampton found the more direct route to goal, repeatedly testing the keeper and converting enough of those opportunities to build a clear margin.

• No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded for Mirkhath.

The red card for Stuart Mitchell on 60 minutes might have suggested a closing stretch of damage limitation for Bampton. Instead, the visitors added another goal at 75 minutes, saw Mirkhath reply three minutes later, then had Efrain Jordan complete the scoring at 90. The contest contained enough cards to keep the referee busy, but the decisive pattern was simpler: Mirkhath enjoyed more of the ball, while Bampton put far more of its attacks on target. A 2-5 defeat is not softened by a corner count, though eight corners at least gave Mirkhath plenty of opportunities to visit the same end of the pitch.
