Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wenth United scored three goals from 2.68 xG, a modest overperformance of 0.32. Teek United scored five from 3.79 xG, finishing 1.21 above the chance-quality estimate. The visitors’ 18 shots, including 13 on target, gave them the larger attacking return; their finishing then added a considerable extra layer. Wenth United also created and converted at a healthy rate, with nine of 13 attempts on target, but their 52% possession did not translate into the same volume of pressure. The figures fit a match where both sides found routes to goal, while Teek United were more prolific with the opportunities they produced.

The sequence of goals tells the story of a match that repeatedly refused to hold its shape. Teek United scored first, only for Wenth United to answer a minute later. The visitors moved ahead again before the interval, and John Ross restored parity just before half-time. When Michael Payne put Wenth United in front in the 52nd minute, the hosts had briefly made their greater possession count in the most direct possible way.

That lead lasted seven minutes. Teek United levelled through Ludovic Guerin, then Benjamin Wilkinson scored to put the visitors back in front. Joost van Leeuwen added his second in the 70th minute, and the score stayed 5-3. The final margin was not a product of Wenth United failing to attack: they had three goals, nine shots on target and five corners. But Teek United matched their resilience with the more sustained threat, and five goals from 3.79 xG left the hosts with no answer to the visitors’ last three strikes.
