Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Santington recorded 3.85 xG and scored six, finishing 2.15 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is substantial over-performance, though 17 shots and 14 on target show the visitors repeatedly put the ball in positions where a goalkeeper had to answer. Stables registered 0.01 xG and no shots, matching the estimate in the most literal sense available: there was no attempt to turn possession into a goal. With possession close at 48%-52%, the difference was not simply who held the ball, but how often Santington converted its attacks into shots and how effectively those chances were finished.

• No Stables players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The timing shaped the contest as decisively as the scoreline. Francisco Duarte opened the scoring in the 12th minute, and Santington had made it 3-0 by the 29th; his third goal arrived in the 40th, followed by Manuel De Andrade’s second two minutes later. The first-half sequence left Stables with a steep task, and the visitors still found a sixth through Plamen Angelov in the 79th minute. The cards, one to each side, were almost the only interruption to a match whose central business was Santington getting efforts on target.

There is a useful distinction between the chance estimate and the final margin: Santington did not merely edge its way to six, but scored more than its 3.85 xG would predict, while the visitors’ 14 shots on target underline how sustained the pressure was. Stables had 48% possession and attempted 14 dribbles, yet recorded no shots; those figures describe activity without a route to a finishing opportunity. Santington leaves with a 6-0 win built on a blistering first half and a clinical return, while Stables have a result that needs no decorative statistics to look severe.
