Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

Hilshalvenle’s 3.39 xG was a strong return, and its four goals edged that estimate by 0.61. With 14 attempts and 13 on target, the visitors repeatedly made their attacks count as real tests rather than decorative excursions into the final third. Benham Town managed two shots, both on target, for 0.51 xG, but scored none: a shortfall of 0.51. The hosts’ 56 per cent possession and 81 per cent pass accuracy show they kept the ball more often and used it neatly enough, but those figures did not translate into enough chances. Hilshalvenle’s 78 per cent passing accuracy was lower, yet the visitors created far more and finished four of those opportunities.

The first three goals arrived by the 38th minute, giving Hilshalvenle a commanding cushion before the match had reached the interval. Serge Gagnon opened the scoring from Andrej Filipović’s assist, and Alex Shaw followed seven minutes later, set up by Xinping Boon. Filipović then scored himself. The sequence left Benham Town with a steep task and little attacking volume with which to answer it. Hilshalvenle’s final goal came at 83 minutes, when Fadil Kapić finished another move assisted by Boon, who thus supplied two assists.

The figures tell a clear story without requiring possession to be mistaken for control. Benham Town recorded more tackles, 13 to four, and more dribbles, eight to six, but Hilshalvenle’s shot count and accuracy were the more consequential measures on the night. The hosts’ three yellow cards, against one for the visitors, added a frayed edge to an afternoon in which they were already chasing the match. Hilshalvenle, meanwhile, carried the 4-0 result through to the final whistle, with its chance creation, early scoring and late finish all pointing in the same direction.

• Benham Town: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Andrej Filipović (7.3) - Scored once and assisted Serge Gagnon’s opener.
• Xinping Boon (7.0) - Recorded two assists, setting up goals for Alex Shaw and Fadil Kapić.
