Hod Gre 7 - 0 Purle Athletic

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Hod Gre 4.69 xG against seven actual goals, an overperformance of 2.31. That points to finishing well beyond the chances’ estimated quality, built on a volume of attempts that kept Purle Athletic under pressure. At the other end, Purle Athletic recorded 0.26 xG and no goal, while its single shot on target offered little opportunity to change the course of the match. Possession was comparatively close at 53-47, but the shots and tackles were not: Hod Gre had 21 shots and 12 tackles to Purle Athletic’s one and three. The ball may be shared; the work it creates is less democratic.

Three goals from Artemio Gallo helped make the margin emphatic, with his first arriving in the 14th minute and his next two in the second half. Jorge Mendez, Allan Carroll, Ross Bradley and Joaquim Delgado also scored for Hod Gre. Purle Athletic won more corners, 8-5, and recorded more dribbles, 11-6, but neither count translated into a goal. Four yellow cards for the visitors and two for the hosts added a little bookkeeping to a match whose principal business had already been settled on the scoreboard.
