Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Shiste Wanderers at 2.94 xG and Barthmough Villa at 3.02, while the actual goals finished 4-1. The hosts therefore scored well above their estimate, converting a strong return of chances into four; Barthmough Villa, by contrast, managed only one goal from an xG figure just over three. The visitors had 15 shots to the hosts’ 14, with both sides putting 10 on target, so this was not a case of Shiste Wanderers simply monopolising attempts. Their 55% possession, 85% pass accuracy and nine corners point to greater control and sustained pressure, but the xG gap says the visitors also created enough to make the final margin look unusually severe. Finishing, rather than a shortage of opportunities for Barthmough Villa, was the decisive difference.

No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher for either side.

The chronology gives the result its shape: Shiste Wanderers scored twice in the opening 13 minutes, Barthmough Villa answered six minutes later, and Saliou Sow restored breathing room before the interval. Vladimir štimac added the fourth early in the second half, leaving the visitors with a substantial task and no further goals to show for their shooting. The yellow cards were shared evenly, two apiece, while Barthmough Villa made more tackles and dribbles without turning either advantage into a closer scoreline. A 4-1 win can look simple from a distance; the chance figures suggest it was more complicated, though Shiste Wanderers were plainly the side that made the afternoon count.
