Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: South Blyne scored six from 2.91 xG, a substantial finishing overperformance, though 11 of their 12 shots were on target and the scoreline was built on sustained accuracy as well as conversion. Hayestlins recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, so their 59 per cent possession did not translate into a measurable threat. The contrast is stark: the hosts circulated the ball and won more corners, while the visitors made far more of their attacks, with four goals arriving between the 28th and 39th minutes. The xG figures suggest South Blyne scored well beyond the chances’ estimated value; the shot count and target rate show they were not simply scoring from a lone, improbable opening.

• No Hayestlins players reached a rating of 7.0.

The scoreline had been settled well before the final minutes, but South Blyne still found time to add a fifth at 85' and a sixth at 89'. Their four yellow cards made for a busy disciplinary column, though no red cards were shown. Hayestlins kept more of the ball and completed passes at a higher rate, but without a shot the possession remained largely decorative. South Blyne leave with a 6-0 win, three goals for Derek Thomson, two for Attilio Pellegrino, and the rather practical lesson that accuracy can make possession statistics feel like an account of a different match.
