Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Chalsey Town scored three goals from 2.49 xG, finishing around half a goal above the chance-quality estimate. Alcoth Stanley managed two from 3.22 xG, leaving more than a goal’s worth of expected output unused. The visitors’ 14 shots, 12 on target and 53% possession point to a side that created plenty and kept the ball well; the home side, with 11 shots and nine on target, made its opportunities count more efficiently. That gap between volume and conversion is the match’s central tactical wrinkle: Alcoth Stanley generated the larger expected return, while Chalsey Town supplied the goals that decided it.

For a time, the scoreboard seemed to be following the visitors’ lead. Zdravko Ivanišević scored twice, and the second goal came with an assist from Allan Carroll, putting Alcoth Stanley two ahead before Edilberto Cedeño pulled one back on 45'. After the break, Chalsey Town completed the turn with Neo Lee’s goal, assisted by Xinping Boon, and Cedeño’s second, set up by Jason Kaur, just two minutes later. The listed numbers suggest the hosts had less of the ball but were productive with it; they also made eight tackles to the visitors’ four. Alcoth Stanley had the edge in passing accuracy, shots and corners, yet those advantages could not undo the three-goal spell that settled the contest.
