Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Halvils scored five from 3.74 xG, exceeding the chance-quality estimate by 1.26 goals. That is a clear return above expectation, built on a striking volume of attempts: sixteen shots, fourteen on target. The numbers describe a side that repeatedly put the goal under pressure and converted its opportunities at a better rate than the estimate predicted. Mary Bake finished without a goal from 0.36 xG and managed only two shots, one on target. Their 53% possession did not become sustained threat, while Halvils made their 47% count with direct productivity. Possession can be a useful measure of control; on this occasion, the shot totals supplied a more persuasive account.

The final score was Mary Bake 0 - 5 Halvils, and the underlying figures make the margin difficult to dispute. Mary Bake completed more passes accurately by percentage, had more possession, and recorded more dribbles and tackles; none of those advantages translated into enough attempts to trouble Halvils. The visitors, by contrast, paired a modest possession share with a shot count eight times greater than their opponents’. Their three first-half goals gave the match its shape, and two more after the break made the result emphatic. A five-goal win with 47% possession is a tidy reminder that the ball need not be owned for long if the important moments are handled well.
