Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Harthes Town scored three goals from 1.5 xG, finishing well above the chance-quality estimate; Duncard managed one from 2.32 xG, a substantial shortfall against the opportunities represented by that figure. The shot count supports the contrast: Duncard attempted 11 times and put eight on target, compared with seven shots and five on target for the hosts. Yet possession and precision in passing leaned toward Harthes Town—59% of the ball and 89% pass accuracy, against 41% and 83%. The early red card to Jose Yañez gave the visitors a long spell with ten players, complicating their task, but does not erase the central fact of the contest: Duncard generated the higher xG, while Harthes Town made more of its chances. Football’s ledger is not always the one kept by the xG department.

No players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.

The result gives Harthes Town a 3-1 win despite Duncard’s advantage in shots and xG, and the three-goal return came from only seven attempts. The hosts also recorded more tackles and corners, while Duncard committed more fouls and had the sole red card. Those figures describe a match with contrasting measures of control: Harthes Town held more possession and passed more accurately, but the visitors still produced the larger volume of shots and the higher estimated chance quality.

The goals after the break settled the contest. Robert Bruce brought Duncard level at 50', but Xinping Boon restored the hosts’ lead eleven minutes later, with Lindomar Da Silva adding a third at 80'. Harthes Town leave with the exact reward the scoreline offers: a two-goal win, fashioned through clinical finishing rather than a statistical siege. Duncard, meanwhile, can point to the chances created, though the points have gone elsewhere.
