The xG figures reveal a stark disparity: Goodber's 5.18 vastly outstripped their actual five goals, indicating their finishing was even more clinical than their chances suggest. Conversely, Maingby Orient's mere 0.81 xG underscores their struggles to create meaningful opportunities, with only two shots on target from five attempts. The visitors' relentless pressure and precision in front of goal proved decisive, while the hosts' defensive lapses and lack of attacking threat sealed their fate.
