Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Mortingwood scored twice from 2.23 xG, a small underperformance against the chances their play produced. Stontwich scored three from 2.89 xG, also just below its expected return, so neither side dramatically outdid the quality of its opportunities. The visitors’ 12 shots, 11 on target and four corners, compared with Mortingwood’s 10 shots, eight on target and one corner, point to a modest but meaningful edge in attacking pressure. Stontwich also held 54% possession and completed 84% of passes; the hosts’ two goals in three minutes after the visitors went 3-0 ahead show that the match’s final shape was less settled than those figures suggest.

Mortingwood: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Stontwich:

• Friedrich Unger (7.3) - Scored Stontwich’s third and assisted Lindomar Da Silva for the second, contributing directly to two goals.

Stontwich’s first two goals, at 10 and 28 minutes, gave the visitors a platform, and Friedrich Unger extended it shortly after the break. Mortingwood replied through Philippe Robert and Nilson Pires in a three-minute spell, bringing the deficit down to one and giving the closing stages genuine tension. The hosts had a route back into the contest, but Stontwich held on for the 3-2 win. Mortingwood’s three yellow cards and Stontwich’s advantage in dribbles and tackles offer a small sketch of the differing approaches: the hosts committed more fouls, while the visitors did more of the work carrying and recovering the ball. The score stayed narrow at the end; the underlying edge, and the result, belonged to Stontwich.
