Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Walvilter 1.39 xG and Hawbridge United 2.89. Both sides scored more than their expected totals: Walvilter’s two goals exceeded its estimate by 0.61, while Hawbridge United’s four were 1.11 above theirs. That points to finishing that ran ahead of chance quality for both teams, particularly for the visitors. The larger difference in volume matters too: Hawbridge United registered 15 shots, nine on target, against Walvilter’s six shots and five on target. Walvilter’s 52% possession and six corners indicate it had its share of the ball and opportunities to build, but possession did not translate into comparable attacking volume. Hawbridge United were more direct in the useful sense: more attempts, more on target, and enough goals to make the scoreboard a rather firm advocate for their approach.
