Quedon Graple 0 - 7 St Bere Albion

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put St Bere Albion at 4.84 xG and Quedon Graple at 0.01. Seven goals from 4.84 xG is a substantial over-performance, while the visitors’ 21 shots and 18 on target show that the finishing was backed by sustained pressure rather than a brief, improbable burst. Quedon Graple did not register a shot, so its 0.01 xG was effectively the statistical trace of an attack that never became one. The six corners for the hosts offer a curious footnote, but possession, shots and the final score all point to the same imbalance.

The opening goal arrived in the 11th minute, and St Bere Albion had three by the 34th. After the break, the visitors scored four more in a 13-minute spell from the 64th to the 77th, with Paulo Santos scoring twice and assisting twice in the sequence. His contribution was central to the result, while Adilson Pereira also scored twice. The late yellow cards to Bruce Harrison and Paulo Santos did little to alter the shape of a match already settled; they merely added a little paperwork to a very clear afternoon. St Bere Albion finished with 58% possession and 85% pass accuracy, compared with Quedon Graple’s 42% and 79%. The hosts did win the corner count, six to three, but corners without a shot on the ledger are a rather abstract form of encouragement.
