The report
The scoreline was emphatic, and the chance figures show that it was not built on five goals from a handful of improbable openings. New Mitnaby recorded 3.29 xG and scored five, outperforming that estimate by 1.71 goals, while Penbring managed 0.01 xG and no shots. Eleven of the hosts’ 16 attempts were on target, evidence of sustained danger rather than a solitary burst. The visitors had 55% possession, seven corners and higher pass accuracy, but those measures brought no recorded shot to turn into a meaningful scoring threat.
Jay Hall made the decisive difference, scoring three times, including twice in the opening 24 minutes. Lyuben Ivanov assisted two of those goals, and New Mitnaby had already built a four-goal lead by the 35th minute. The fifth arrived at 87 minutes through Salva Nozadze, assisted by Maxime Dufour. Penbring had the ball more often, but possession and corners did not translate into attempts; the visitors’ xG of 0.01 is a concise account of a day spent near the action without getting to the part that matters.
