Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Walton Stanley scored six from 4.79 xG, beating the chance-quality estimate by 1.21 goals. That is a substantial return, though the visitors’ 22 shots and 17 efforts on target show that this was not simply a case of making a little go a very long way. Ton Kemon City scored once from 1.13 xG, marginally below expectation, but had only five shots in total. The hosts recorded 54% possession and six corners, yet those figures did not translate into sustained danger; Walton Stanley generated far more attempts with less of the ball, and the six-goal haul reflected both their volume and their finishing.

The shape of the match was apparent early: Walton Stanley led 2-0 by the 17th minute, then added a third just before half-time. Rainer Müller briefly gave Ton Kemon City a goal after the break, but Peter de Jong scored again four minutes later, and Salvatore Giorgi followed in the 68th. Jose Gomez completed his brace in the 87th minute. The hosts’ goal made the score 3-1 for a short spell; the visitors’ quick response ensured it did not become a turning point. Six yellow cards were shown, evenly divided between the clubs, while neither side received a red.

For Ton Kemon City, the figures describe a frustrating afternoon: more possession, more corners and better pass accuracy, but a five-shot total against 22 from Walton Stanley. The visitors were not required to dominate the ball to dominate the match. Their repeated attacks gave Peter de Jong and Jose Gomez the platform to decide it, while the hosts’ goal offered only a brief interruption to the scoring. At 1-6, the final score matched the direction of the contest, even if Walton Stanley finished above their xG.
