Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Elsder City at 0.88 xG against one goal, while Medham Villa registered 4.93 xG and scored five. Both sides finished close to the quality of chances they created, with the visitors marginally ahead of their estimate and the hosts slightly behind theirs. That is less a tale of wild finishing than of a substantial difference in opportunity: Medham Villa generated 22 shots, including 18 on target, while Elsder City managed four. The near-even possession figures disguise the sharper distinction. Elsder City attempted more dribbles and made more tackles, but the visitors’ superior shot volume and 90% pass accuracy gave their attacks a far more regular route to goal.

Elsder City had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Youngchul Lee (7.6) - Scored twice, first with a 36th-minute finish assisted by Ruben Quiros, then again after the break to extend the visitors’ lead. Ruben Quiros (7.5) - Supplied three assists, including the opening goal and the late finish that completed the five-goal return.

The match was effectively settled before the interval, with Medham Villa scoring three times in the opening 36 minutes. Lindomar Da Silva gave Elsder City a goal in the 88th minute, assisted by Khadim Diakhate, but Jan de Jong answered in the 90th to restore the four-goal margin. The timing allowed no real change to the outcome, only a final reminder that Medham Villa kept finding chances even after the contest had long tilted their way.
