Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Holburne City scored seven from an xG of 4.45, exceeding the chance-quality estimate by 2.55 goals. That is emphatic finishing on top of an already productive attack: 16 of their 20 shots were on target, and the goals came from several players rather than resting on a single scoring source. Bills-up Rovers registered 0.01 xG and no shots, so their 49% possession did not translate into a recorded attempt. The visitors did win six corners to Holburne City’s one, a small statistical island in a match otherwise dominated by the hosts’ threat.

The scoreline widened sharply after the interval: Tamaz Maruashvili completed his hat-trick three minutes into the second half, then Amadou Ndiaye struck twice before the hour. Holburne City added a seventh through Henry Valdes in the 84th minute, ensuring the closing stages had no suspense about the result, only about whether another name might join the scorers.

For Bills-up Rovers, the possession and corner counts offered little comfort against the blunt fact of zero shots and 0.01 xG. Holburne City, meanwhile, combined an extraordinary return in front of goal with enough pressure to keep the visitors from attempting a shot at all. The 7-0 final was not merely a matter of finishing above expectation; it reflected a contest in which one side repeatedly made chances count and the other never recorded one.
