Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Holes United recorded 2.89 xG and scored three, a close return on the chances’ estimated quality. Haidgword produced 1.97 xG but scored once, finishing nearly a goal below that estimate. The shot figures offer some context: Holes United put 11 of 12 attempts on target, while Haidgword managed seven on target from nine. With possession nearly even at 51%-49%, this was not a story of one side monopolising the ball; rather, Holes United generated more attempts and made its advantage count, while Haidgword had enough threat to keep the scoreline from becoming comfortable until late.

The 3-1 result reflects a match in which Haidgword remained capable of making a contest of it after going two down, but Holes United restored its cushion before the final whistle. The visitors’ three yellow cards, compared with none for the hosts, mark a more interrupted afternoon for Haidgword; the foul count was close, and neither side had a red card. Holes United did not dominate every measure, but it had the stronger attacking return and the final goal. That combination made the difference, without requiring possession to become a landslide.

No players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher for either side.
