Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: St Padith Rovers recorded 1.62 xG and scored once, falling 0.62 goals short of the chance-quality estimate. Wemsley United produced 2.44 xG and scored three, exceeding its estimate by 0.56. The visitors’ 12 shots to the hosts’ seven, along with eight efforts on target against six, point to a more sustained attacking threat. The scoreline suggests Wemsley converted its opportunities with particular sharpness, especially in the first-half burst: Cortes struck at 15' and 26', with Moreau adding another a minute later. St Padith Rovers found a response before the break, but the three-goal spell had already given Wemsley United a commanding cushion.

There were no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher for St Padith Rovers.

The match’s figures show a modest edge in possession for Wemsley United, 54% to 46%, and a clearer advantage in dribbles and tackles: 11 to six and 13 to eight respectively. Both sides had two corners and committed nine fouls, so the difference was not a matter of dead-ball volume or a lopsided foul count. Instead, the visitors paired their slightly greater possession with more attempts and more successful disruption, while converting enough of their chances to make the opening half-hour decisive. St Padith Rovers did get on the scoresheet and remained within reach of the xG estimate, but the match’s most consequential stretch belonged to Wemsley United.
