The 9-0 scoreline reflects the gulf in threat, even if the xG difference suggests the finishing made an already one-sided contest look more extreme still. Epstle Wanderers led by six at half-time, then scored twice soon after the restart to put any prospect of a visitor’s recovery beyond practical reach. Deaffield did win the corner count 10-2, a small statistical island in a match otherwise controlled by the hosts. The visitors’ effort was not absent—possession and pass accuracy were relatively close—but without a shot, there was no route from respectable circulation to danger. For Epstle Wanderers, the result was emphatic, the finishing excellent, and the afternoon’s one yellow card a modest footnote beside nine goals.
