Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Royarmslow’s 7-0 win came from 4.74 xG, a return more than two goals above the chance-quality estimate: emphatic finishing on top of a strong supply of opportunities. Their 18 shots on target from 20 attempts help explain the scale of the score, though seven goals from 4.74 xG is still a notable over-performance. Hemell Wednesday registered 0.21 xG and no shots on target from two attempts, so their 52% possession and slightly better pass accuracy did not translate into a meaningful threat. The figures describe a useful distinction: Hemell Wednesday circulated the ball more, while Royarmslow repeatedly put the game in front of goal.

Royarmslow’s two goals before half-time gave them control; the three arriving between the 50th and 60th minutes made the contest effectively settled, and Kevin Moore’s late brace carried the margin to its final form. The hosts had only 48% possession, but they tackled ten times to Hemell Wednesday’s one and produced a substantial gap in shots and shots on target. Hemell Wednesday did complete seven dribbles to Royarmslow’s three, an isolated statistic doing its best to look like a different match. The scoreline, the chances and the finishing all point in the same direction: Royarmslow were far more dangerous, and the second-half scoring run made that advantage impossible to miss.

• No Hemell Wednesday players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
