Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Farkham Wanderers recorded 4.58 xG and scored four, a slight underperformance by the chance-quality estimate that hardly troubled the result. Dron Athletic produced 1.62 xG and scored once, also finishing below its estimate. The gap in opportunity was the sharper finding: Farkham had 23 shots, 15 on target, while Dron managed seven, six of them on target. Equal possession did not mean equal command. Farkham turned the ball into repeated attempts, while Dron’s share of the ball came with much less volume and a markedly smaller margin for error.

Dron Athletic had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

• Saliou—no. Need only given top players. Sand... formatting rows exactly. Make no bullet? accepted. Ratings only two. Dron sentence.

The opening ten minutes set the shape of the afternoon. Sandro Angelini struck twice in the space of a minute, first supplied by Vladimir štimac and then by Saliou Sow, leaving Dron to chase a match that had barely found its chair. Victor Garrido added the third shortly after the break, and his later assist for Anthony Barnes made it four before Seungwoo Jeong replied for the hosts. Dron did find the net, but the late goal did not alter the basic arithmetic.

The figures underline why the score was a fair reflection of the balance of threat, even if Farkham might have expected one more goal from its xG. The visitors were more accurate in their passing, had more shots and more tackles, while Dron had the edge in corners and dribbles; those advantages did not convert into comparable pressure on goal. Four yellow cards for Dron, against one for Farkham, added a little friction to a match in which the visitors’ attacking work had already done most of the talking.
