Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sawton Albion scored three from 2.09 xG, outperforming the estimate by 0.91; Leomble Albion scored twice from 3.27 xG, falling short by 1.27. The visitors’ 16 shots, 11 on target and seven corners suggest they created the greater volume of opportunity, while the hosts made their ten shots count more decisively. Equal pass accuracy at 84% gives no obvious explanation in that department; instead, the numbers point to a game where Leomble Albion fashioned more chances, but Sawton Albion were sharper at converting theirs. The xG margin makes the result an escape from the balance of chances, not evidence that the chances were balanced.

The 3-2 scoreline was settled by Sawton Albion finding the final two goals after Leomble Albion had twice taken the lead. The hosts also made 11 tackles to the visitors’ four, while collecting four yellow cards to Leomble Albion’s one; there was effort in abundance, and a modest supply of restraint. Leomble Albion can point to the possession and chance figures as evidence that their attacking approach worked in part, but the final return was two goals. For Sawton Albion, the decisive detail was the work of Luis Pinto and Xinping Boon: both finished and assisted, and the home side turned a demanding afternoon into a 3-2 win.
