The 6 - 0 result was not a close game dressed up by a late flourish: Buxte United established control of the scoreboard before half-time and kept adding to it after the interval. Coldforn City were not short of activity, as their dribbles and corners attest, but activity and danger are separate departments, and the visitors did not produce enough of the latter. For Buxte United, six goals from 3.4 xG marks a conspicuously rewarding afternoon in front of goal; for Coldforn City, the challenge is to turn possession and promising entries into chances that ask more of the opposing goalkeeper.
