Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stonembe Town scored four from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.24, a modest over-performance that fits a side converting a substantial share of its opportunities. Swarking City scored twice from 1.24 xG, also exceeding its estimate, though the lower figure and six total shots point to a thinner supply of chances. The hosts recorded 14 shots, 12 on target, against four on target from the visitors; that gap helps explain how Stonembe Town secured the 4-2 result despite having 48% possession. Swarking City completed passes more accurately and held the ball more often, but the sharper return in front of goal belonged to the side with less of it.

No Swarking City players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early exchange made for an unusually brisk opening: Swarking City struck first, Stonembe Town answered, and the hosts moved ahead before the visitors levelled at 22 minutes. After that, the match’s scoring ledger stayed quiet until John Davidson put Stonembe Town back in front in the 57th minute. Eduardo Tavares added the fourth in the 87th, giving the hosts a two-goal margin that matched the broader pattern of their greater shot volume and on-target pressure. Swarking City stayed competitive in possession and passing accuracy, but those advantages did not translate into enough chances to keep pace. The final score was Stonembe Town 4 - 2 Swarking City: a six-goal contest with a straightforward statistical lesson, namely that the ball can be kept very neatly while the opponent keeps finding the net.
