Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gives Bexton United 4.23 xG against four goals, a slight under-performance of 0.23 that hardly troubled the evening. Swarnham scored twice from 0.91 xG, converting a limited supply with considerable efficiency. The shot count explains the broader picture: Bexton United registered 21 attempts, 14 on target, while Swarnham managed four, three on target. The hosts’ 53% possession and 84% pass accuracy also point to a side that spent more time controlling the ball and creating opportunities. Yet the visitors’ two goals, arriving before the break, made that control less comfortable than the final margin suggests. Bexton United eventually turned their volume of chances into a 4-2 win; Swarnham made their few openings count, but could not keep pace with the home side’s sustained threat.

• No Swarnham player reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For Bexton United, the important response came after Swarnham had gone ahead 2-1: Franke levelled in the 40th minute, then scored again early in the second half, and Martinez added the fourth seven minutes later. That sequence turned a lively, uncertain first half into a more decisive home performance. Swarnham kept competing, making 11 tackles and earning three corners, but the visitors’ 17 fouls and four shots offer a fair outline of a side asked to defend often and create from comparatively little. The final 4-2 score reflects both sides of the contest: Swarnham were sharp enough to make the hosts work, while Bexton United had enough chances—and enough finish—to make the result clear.
