Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The 5-0 final score gave Couthwor Rovers a two-goal cushion over their 3.15 xG, a substantial over-performance built on converting chances at a rate that the estimate did not quite expect. Their 12 shots on target from 13 attempts help explain how the attack kept turning possession into genuine pressure. East Mar United, meanwhile, finished with 0 goals from 1.01 xG, falling short of the chances’ expected return. Their four shots were all on target, but the shot count remained low despite nine corners. With possession nearly even, the difference was less about monopolising the ball than about what each side did when it had a shooting opportunity.

• No East Mar United players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For all the numerical closeness in possession and passing accuracy, the match’s defining imbalance was in the finishing. Couthwor Rovers scored twice before the break, then struck twice in quick succession after half-time, leaving East Mar United with a steep task and little time to find a reply. The visitors did earn nine corners and put all four of their shots on target, but neither figure became a goal. Couthwor Rovers, by contrast, paired an efficient attack with five different moments on the scoreboard and three assists from Moreira alone. The 5-0 result was emphatic; the xG gap says it was also a sharper finishing display than the chance count by itself would predict.
