Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Beddleigh at 2.07 xG and Stontwich at 2.49. Against those figures, Beddleigh scored once from a little over two expected goals, while Stontwich scored three from roughly two and a half: the visitors finished above expectation, and the hosts below it. The totals suggest Beddleigh did create enough to make the scoreline uncomfortable for Stontwich, but the visitors’ nine shots on target from eleven attempts gave their greater threat a concrete edge. Their two goals between the 41st and 45th minutes turned a 1 - 1 contest into a substantial interval advantage; the scoreboard was considerably less interested in possession shares than in finishing.

• Beddleigh: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Luis Pinto (7.6) - Scored twice, with one goal arriving immediately after Beddleigh had been shown a yellow card.
• Ousmane Sylla (7.3) - Opened the scoring and assisted Luis Pinto for Stontwich’s second.

The broader figures help explain how Stontwich could control the outcome without controlling the ball: possession was nearly even, but the visitors attempted more dribbles and put more efforts on target. Beddleigh recorded more tackles and corners, evidence of activity, though not enough to stop the two-goal burst that settled the match. The hosts’ twelve fouls against Stontwich’s five also suggest a more interrupted afternoon for Beddleigh, while the visitors required less of that kind of maintenance.

For Beddleigh, the early equaliser showed a capacity to respond, and the xG total says the side was not starved of promising chances. The failure to convert more of them left little room for error once Luis Pinto struck twice. Stontwich were not overwhelmingly dominant in the possession column; they were simply more productive when the game offered openings. A 1 - 3 away win, built on sharp finishing and a decisive spell before half-time, is an efficient piece of travelling work.
