Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wickwatle Argyle scored twice from 2.63 xG, a little below the chance-quality estimate, while Thames City also scored twice despite generating 3.97 xG. The visitors therefore left a substantial share of their expected return unused, despite registering 17 shots and putting 15 on target. Wickwatle Argyle, with 11 shots and 10 on target, made its opportunities count at a more efficient clip, though the figures still suggest there was room for another goal. The hosts had 58% possession and better pass accuracy, but that control did not translate into comparable volume; Thames City found more routes to goal, then failed to turn that territorial threat into a winning margin.

The late sequence gave the match its final shape. Friedrich Unger put Thames City ahead in the 84th minute, only for Sylla to answer three minutes later, with Müller supplying his second assist of the evening. The visitors’ five yellow cards, compared with one for Wickwatle Argyle, tell of a more interrupted and more heavily policed contest, but not of a side that stopped pressing forward. Their seven corners and 11 tackles fit the picture of a team repeatedly trying to force the issue; the home side, meanwhile, kept enough composure to make its last clear intervention count.
