Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Strids scored seven from an xG of 4.39, beating the chance-quality estimate by 2.61 goals. That is substantial finishing over-performance, though the 21 shots and 15 on target show this was not a victory assembled from one lucky bounce and a lengthy prayer. Keyley Town finished with 0.86 xG and four shots, three on target, but no goals: a measurable amount of threat, without the finish required to make it count. The near-even possession and pass accuracy figures suggest the visitors were not simply deprived of the ball; rather, Strids made far more of their attacking opportunities, and the seven-goal margin reflects that difference in conversion as well as volume.

• No Keyley Town players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early goals gave Strids a foothold by the eighth minute, and the sequence from the 36th to the 38th made the first half particularly difficult for Keyley Town to contain. Strids then scored twice more after the break, extending the lead to 7-0 without needing possession dominance to do it. Four yellow cards, three to Strids and one to Keyley Town, were the main interruptions in a match otherwise defined by the home side’s finishing. Keyley Town did put three efforts on target, but none altered the score; Strids’ seven goals were supported by 15 shots on target and a steady supply of decisive contributions from their leading players.
