Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Gland City scored once from 1.28 xG, a modest underperformance against the chance-quality estimate. Adley County scored six from 5.23 xG, finishing slightly above expectation; the difference was small beside the larger gap in opportunity volume. The visitors registered 25 shots and 18 on target, while Gland City managed five shots, all on target. Possession favoured the hosts, 55% to 45%, but it did not translate into comparable attacking threat. The numbers describe a match in which Adley County repeatedly put the defence under pressure and Gland City had little margin for error.

• No Gland City players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For Gland City, the possession and corner counts offered some evidence of time spent on the ball, but the five shots tell a more restrained story. Their goal at 50' briefly interrupted the sequence of Adley County scoring, with Ricardo Da Silva converting Kenneth Herrera’s assist, yet the visitors restored their four-goal cushion before the hour had passed. Adley County kept creating chances and finished with a sixth in the 83rd minute. A 6-1 result is not a close contest made strange by a late flourish; it reflects the persistent difference in attacking volume, with the visitors’ finishing carrying them a little beyond an already substantial xG advantage.
