Redningrough 4 - 0 Ossomber United

The four-goal return came just ahead of Redningrough’s 3.48 xG, a modest over-performance that fits a side turning a strong supply of chances into a decisive early lead. Ossomber United finished with 1.36 xG but no goal, so its attacking work was not entirely absent; the gap between that estimate and the final score instead underlines how little room there was to recover once Redningrough had struck four times. The shot count tells a similar story, 18 to six, though Ossomber United put five of its six attempts on target. Its eight corners to Redningrough’s two suggest the visitors found opportunities to apply pressure, but the numbers that decide the match remained the goals.

The first two arrived in the opening seven minutes: Eugenio Villegas scored in the fourth, then Jorge Dos Santos finished a move assisted by Thomas Hartmann. Yellow cards for Gustavo Morales and Thomas Hartmann arrived before Kaloyan Asenov made it three in the 28th minute. Gustavo Morales added the fourth three minutes later, assisted by Eugenio Villegas. That is a brisk sequence by any standard, and a particularly inconvenient one for a side still trying to make its corners count. Further bookings for Alan Little and Abdou Drame came in the 45th and 78th minutes, as the score stayed 4 - 0. Redningrough’s 87% pass accuracy, against 80% for Ossomber United, also points to a home side that used possession more cleanly, even without monopolising it.
