Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Weston City scored four from 3.93 xG, almost exactly matching the chance quality it generated. That is a tidy return, rather than a case of the finishing department discovering a secret passage through probability. Nornesburpe scored once from 1.63 xG, finishing below its estimate despite putting six of seven shots on target. The visitors had 54% possession, seven corners and more dribbles, but those advantages did not translate into enough high-quality finishing. Weston City, by contrast, registered 18 shots and 14 on target, and the sharp burst from the 40th through the 50th minute turned a competitive opening into a decisive lead.

• No Nornesburpe players reached a rating of 7.0.

The early goal from Carlos Fernandez, assisted by Nuno Antunes, gave Nornesburpe a foothold and the visitors’ possession figures showed they were able to keep the ball. But Weston City’s response was emphatic: Cherif Sidibe levelled in the 40th minute, then Armando Caruso scored twice before the interval, with Jeroen Derksen and Armindo Furtado providing the assists. Sidibe struck again at 50', completing the scoring and leaving the second half with a substantial task already assigned to the visitors. Four goals from 3.93 xG and a 4-1 final score leave little need for statistical embroidery. Nornesburpe had the ball more often; Weston City had the goals, and made that distinction count.
