Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Paddley Town 4.5 xG and Hunburloch 0.51. The final 7-0 therefore had the visitors finishing about 2.5 goals above expectation, while the hosts ended without a goal despite a modest chance estimate. That over-performance was backed by a large volume of attempts: Paddley Town took 19 shots, 17 on target, against just two shots from Hunburloch, both on target. Possession tilted the other way, 54% to 46%, but control of the ball did not translate into control of the danger. The five corners won by Hunburloch against none for Paddley Town offer a small statistical oddity; they do not alter the broader picture of the visitors repeatedly making their attacks count.

• No Hunburloch players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was emphatic, and the numbers explain why: Paddley Town put 17 of its 19 attempts on target, while Hunburloch managed only two efforts in total. The hosts did keep a slight edge in possession and matched the visitors for tackles, but neither statistic could compensate for the gulf in attacking output. Paddley Town scored across the second half after opening the scoring in the 31st minute, with Freddy Suarez reaching a hat-trick and Leonardo Gonzalez scoring twice. There was one yellow card, to Imran Grant, and no red cards. The final 7-0 was more than the visitors’ xG forecast, but the 17 shots on target make it difficult to call the finishing merely fortunate.
