Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stonfield recorded 3.65 xG and scored six, a substantial return above the chance-quality estimate. That points to sharp finishing on top of a productive attack: the visitors put 14 of their 15 shots on target and found the net across a five-goal first-half burst. Exmouthor Palace finished with 0.11 xG from one shot, which did not trouble the target. The hosts held 54% possession and completed 83% of their passes, but those measures brought little threat; possession, on this occasion, was not an especially useful substitute for attempts.

No Exmouthor Palace players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was settled early, though the second half still had one more goal in it: Anto Muratović completed his hat-trick in the 67th minute. Exmouthor Palace had more of the ball and attempted more dribbles, while Stonfield made more tackles and generated a decisive difference in shooting volume. The hosts’ single attempt, and none on target, left no route back into the contest.

For Stonfield, this was a commanding win built on repeated pressure and precise finishing, with Muratović and Gonzalez leading the scoring and Sow providing two assists. The six goals exceeded the visitors’ xG, but the 15 shots and 14 on target show that the attacking advantage was not a matter of fortune alone. Exmouthor Palace kept the ball more often; Stonfield made its possession count when it mattered, which is the less decorative but considerably more useful achievement.
