Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Shirsham scored eight from 5.09 xG, finishing nearly three goals above the chance-quality estimate. That points to outstanding conversion as well as sustained pressure: 25 shots, 17 on target, and a five-goal lead before the interval gave the hosts a substantial platform. Axmough scored once from 1.38 xG, a modest underperformance, though six shots with five on target show that their limited opportunities were not entirely harmless. The red card to Israel Morales at 31' further complicated the visitors’ task, arriving while the score was already 4-0.

The 8-1 result was decisive well before the final whistle, but Shirsham did not simply coast through the remaining hour. Derek Stewart gave Axmough a goal just before half-time, and the hosts then added three more after the break. The numbers tell much of the story: Shirsham had 57% possession and 25 attempts, compared with Axmough’s six, while the visitors’ 13 fouls and one red card record a difficult afternoon of trying to contain the attack. With eight goals on the board against 5.09 xG, Shirsham made a particularly productive day out of its chances; the scoreline was emphatic, and the conversion was even more so.

No Axmough player reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.
