Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Epstley Rangers 2.65 xG and Stert United 0.11, against the actual score of 5-0. The visitors therefore finished substantially above their expected total, converting five times from 11 shots, with 10 on target; Stert United managed one shot and none on target. The margin was emphatic, though the five goals ran ahead of the chance-quality estimate, suggesting an especially clinical afternoon rather than five goals’ worth of expected opportunities. Stert United had 59% possession and 84% pass accuracy, but those figures could not compensate for producing almost no threat in front of goal. Epstley Rangers had less of the ball and a slightly lower pass accuracy, yet repeatedly turned their attacks into attempts that tested the defence.

No Stert United players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The five-goal gap was established by Epstley Rangers’ rapid start: three goals arrived inside the opening 17 minutes, and Insik Choe added another before the break. The second half had fewer scoring events, but Louis Dickson made the final margin five in the 70th minute. Stert United’s greater possession and 18 dribbles offered activity without a shot on target to show for it. The visitors, by contrast, paired 10 shots on target with five goals and spread the scoring across four players. The scoreline is clear; the xG leaves room to note that the finishing was even more decisive than the chances alone predicted.
