Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Swarle City recorded 5.53 xG and scored four, a return below the chance quality they generated but still a substantial haul. Cantford Forest scored twice from 2.13 xG, edging their estimate, and made the most of a comparatively limited attacking output. The shot count gives the tactical shape its plainest outline: 25 attempts and 20 on target for the visitors, against nine attempts and eight on target for the hosts. With 58% possession and nine corners, Swarle City repeatedly brought the game towards the Cantford goal; the four goals were not an overpayment on the evidence of the chances, even if the finishing left a little change on the counter.

No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded for Cantford Forest.

For Cantford Forest, the opening goal and Weijie Hong’s second-half reply showed a willingness to make the most of the attacks that did arrive. But eight shots on target still brought only two goals, while the visitors’ greater volume kept the hosts defending for long stretches. Four yellow cards to three suggest a match with plenty of friction, though the foul totals were close and neither side was reduced to ten.

Swarle City leave with a two-goal win built on sustained attacking pressure, not simply on a late flourish: their first-half comeback established the lead, the 58th-minute goal restored a cushion after Cantford Forest had threatened, and Lindomar Da Silva’s finish at 90' settled the final margin. The hosts had enough quality in their limited chances to score twice; the visitors had enough of them to score four. In the end, the arithmetic followed the traffic.
