Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Rayth City scored seven from an xG of 4.4, an overperformance of 2.6 goals: a striking return, even allowing for the quality of chances the estimate suggests. The 18 shots, 17 on target, help explain how the hosts kept the pressure and finishing consistent; this was not a case of seven goals arriving from a handful of speculative efforts. St End Edge recorded 0.51 xG from two shots on target and scored none, a modest underperformance that reflects a match in which their limited attempts did not become goals. Possession was almost level, but the shot totals tell the more useful tactical story: Rayth City converted control of the dangerous moments into a result that possession alone could not predict.

• St End Edge - No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The figures offer a useful footnote to the scoreline: St End Edge had the slight edge in possession, corners, dribbles and pass accuracy, but Rayth City made far more of the occasions that mattered near goal. The visitors completed 21 dribbles and still managed only two shots, while the hosts put 17 of their 18 attempts on target. That contrast is a more grounded explanation than pretending the ball spent every minute at one end.

After four goals by half-time, Rayth City added three more after the break, with Wayne Pritchard scoring in the 56th minute before Ernesto Murillo completed his hat-trick. The cards arrived alongside the scoring, including two for the hosts at 45', but there were no red cards to alter the contest’s terms. St End Edge did not lack the ball or the willingness to carry it; they lacked the shots and goals to make those efforts count. The final 7-0 was emphatic, and the match’s clearest distinction was not possession, but what each side managed to do with its opportunities.
