Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Alter Stanley scored three times from 2.54 xG, finishing 0.46 goals above the chance-quality estimate. Crodburn managed one goal from 2.32 xG, finishing 1.32 below theirs. The figures point to a contest with meaningful opportunities at both ends, rather than a match in which the final margin reflected a complete lack of threat from the visitors. Crodburn had 11 shots and eight on target; Alter Stanley had 10 shots, all on target. The hosts’ 56% possession and greater dribbling total offered one route to control, but the decisive difference was how the chances were converted: Crodburn led at the interval, then Alter Stanley struck twice in two minutes and added a late third.

• No Crodburn players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The two-goal margin gives Alter Stanley a clear result, though not a clear monopoly on chances: Crodburn’s xG was only 0.22 lower. The hosts were more accurate with the chances they made count, and their sharp response after conceding proved decisive. Crodburn had enough attempts to make the finish uncomfortable, but the scoreline settled the matter before the final whistle could offer any further amendments.
