Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Ivybrinfiel scored five from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.05 xG, an overperformance of 1.95 goals. That is a sizeable return above the quality of the chances, though 12 shots on target gave the hosts ample opportunity to make the goalkeeper’s afternoon unusually busy. Mand Cron-Asham recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, so the visitors’ nine corners offered territory without becoming a measurable threat in front of goal. Possession was relatively close at 53%-47%, but the decisive difference was what each side managed to do with the ball once it reached attacking areas.

• No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded for Mand Cron-Asham.

The two yellow cards arrived after Ivybrinfiel had already gone four goals clear, and the hosts still added one more through Levan Miqeladze at 85'. Mand Cron-Asham matched the hosts for dribbles and edged the corner count, but neither measure brought a shot; the possession figures, meanwhile, show that this was not simply a matter of one side keeping the ball forever. Rather, Ivybrinfiel repeatedly turned its attacks into attempts and goals, while the visitors could not convert their share of possession or set pieces into a single effort. A 5-0 win is a clear verdict, even if the xG suggests the finishing was more generous than the chances alone demanded.
