Soham Wanderers’ offensive efficiency was the story of the day, with an expected goals tally of 4.18 compared to Thamwol’s modest 0.41. The visitors took 19 shots, 15 on target, while Thamwol managed only two attempts, one on target. Despite the possession being fairly evenly split at 53% to 47%, Soham’s ability to convert chances was markedly superior. The early goals from Greg Young—assisted by Jorge Alvez—set the tone, and the visitors’ relentless pressure was reflected in their high shot count and corner advantage. Thamwol’s goal in the 74th minute, scored by Luca Colombo, was a late consolation that did little to alter the overall narrative of Soham’s dominance.

In tactical terms, Soham’s attacking approach was precise and efficient, capitalizing on the few opportunities that arose. The high number of shots and on-target attempts suggest a team that was willing to take risks and was rewarded for their clinical execution. Thamwol, meanwhile, struggled to create meaningful chances, with only a single shot on target and a low xG. Defensive discipline was maintained by both sides, but Soham’s goalkeeper was busier, making 21 saves compared to just 6 for Thamwol’s shot-stopper. The yellow cards for Xinping Boon and Luca Colombo indicate a game with some tension, but no players were dismissed. Overall, Soham’s victory was a testament to their attacking efficiency and disciplined defending, even if their goal tally could have been higher.
