Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Bilmon City scored seven from an xG of 3.45, a substantial overperformance that points to unusually sharp finishing on top of a steady supply of chances. The 16 shots, 12 on target and seven corners underline that this was not a scoreline assembled from a single lucky ricochet and several clerical errors. Alter Stanley scored once from 0.83 xG, close to its chance-quality estimate, but managed only five shots and two on target. Possession was fairly even at 52-48, yet Bilmon City made its attacks count far more often; the difference was less control of the ball than control of what happened when the ball reached dangerous areas.

• Alter Stanley had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The cards and fouls tell a secondary story: Alter Stanley committed 17 fouls to Bilmon City's seven and collected four yellow cards, while the hosts made 15 tackles to the visitors' four. The discipline figures did not alter the result, but they fit a contest in which Alter Stanley spent much of the afternoon trying to interrupt a side that kept finding ways through. Bilmon City's seven-goal win was emphatic, and its attacking output was even more remarkable than the xG alone suggests. The visitors did find the net and briefly restored parity, but the match's defining passage came between the 33rd and 45th minutes, when Bilmon City turned a 1-1 score into a 6-1 half-time lead. After that, the final goal was less a twist than a neat confirmation that the hosts had not misplaced their appetite during the interval.
