Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Broods Rovers scored five from 4.14 xG, an over-performance of 0.86 goals that reflects both their volume of chances and a sharper finish than the estimate expected. Sixteen of their 17 shots were on target, giving that attacking output plenty of evidence behind it. Darth-Wey Rangers finished with 0.01 xG and no shots, so their 57 per cent possession produced control of the ball without any recorded attempt on goal. The contrast was less about who held the ball than what each side did with it: Broods Rovers made their attacks count, while the visitors’ possession never became a shot.

The authoritative ledger contains no player-rating figures, so a 7.0+ selection cannot be established.

For Broods Rovers, the result came with fewer passes of possession, fewer corners and lower pass accuracy than Darth-Wey Rangers, but a decisive advantage where it mattered: shots on target and goals. The visitors’ six corners and higher possession count did not alter the central fact of the afternoon, that they recorded no attempt at goal. With five goals across the match and the final two arriving in the closing stages, Broods Rovers finished a commanding performance by adding to it rather than merely protecting it.
