Expected Goals (xG) Analysis
Brantwoor’s 4.03 xG was almost exactly matched by its four goals, a tidy alignment between the chances created and the finish. Waington Rovers recorded 0.36 xG and scored none, which fits a match in which the visitors managed only two shots, with one on target. Brantwoor had 19 attempts and put 14 on target, making the gap in attacking threat more telling than the modest possession difference: 54% to 46%. Waington won seven corners to Brantwoor’s four, but those set-piece opportunities did not translate into a meaningful volume of shots. Brantwoor’s early goals gave the contest its shape; the later strikes confirmed that the hosts could keep producing danger rather than simply protect their lead.
Brantwoor
- Ailton Da Silva (7.3) - Scored once, assisted Arthur Cross’s opener and completed a productive afternoon in front of goal.
Waington Rovers
- No Waington Rovers player reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.
Brantwoor’s scoreline was decisive, and the underlying numbers support it: the hosts created far more attempts and put the overwhelming majority of them on target. The four goals arrived across the match rather than in one brief burst, with Paul Gagne and Ailton Da Silva adding to the early advantage in the second half. Waington Rovers did find corners and retained a respectable share of possession, but neither measure supplied the shots needed to trouble the result. The visitors’ evening was therefore not short on set pieces; it was short on what usually follows them.
