Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Soury Rovers scored six from an xG of 3.2, a substantial overperformance that reflects both clinical finishing and a scoreline that ran well beyond the chances’ estimated quality. Their 15 shots, 11 on target, gave the attacking display a firm statistical basis, even if six goals from 3.2 xG is an exceptional return. Earridge Athletic had 58% possession and 11 corners, but only one shot, worth 0.26 xG. The contrast is the match in miniature: territory and set-piece opportunities did not become meaningful goal threat, while Soury Rovers required far less of the ball to turn attacks into goals.

No Earridge Athletic players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For Earridge Athletic, the possession, pass accuracy and corner count offered evidence of involvement, but not of a match turned in their favour: the single shot was the hard limit on what those numbers produced. Soury Rovers were less involved in the ball and corner totals, yet landed 11 attempts on target and scored six times. The gap between 3.2 xG and six actual goals makes the finishing unusually potent, while the 0.26 xG at the other end shows how little danger the visitors created. Soury Rovers leave with a 6-0 win built on ruthless conversion; Earridge Athletic leave with plenty of possession and a shortage of the one thing possession is usually meant to help obtain: chances.
