Browen Stanley 6 - 2 Ecclen Town

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Browen Stanley 3.34 xG and Ecclen Town 1.06, against actual returns of six and two. Both sides finished above their estimate, but the gap was especially pronounced for the hosts: 18 shots, 10 on target, and a finishing return that made the visitors’ four shots—each on target—look efficient without being sufficient. Possession, at 45%-55%, belonged to Ecclen Town; the much larger shot count belonged to Browen Stanley. The contrast suggests the hosts made their attacks count more often, while the visitors’ control of the ball did not translate into comparable volume.
