Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Pooking scored twice from 1.39 xG, finishing modestly above the chance-quality estimate. Swand Town produced 3.04 xG and scored four, also outperforming the estimate, though its 15 shots and 10 on target show that this was not a victory built on a handful of improbable attempts. The visitors made their pressure count more consistently: Pooking managed five shots on target from six attempts, but Swand Town generated far more volume and found the net twice before half-time, then added another soon after the break. Pooking had more possession, corners and dribbles, but those measures did not translate into enough clear scoring pressure to match the visitors’ output.

• Swand Town
• Vladimir Bonev (8.1) - Scored twice and assisted David Novak for the late fourth.
• David Novak (7.6) - Scored twice, including the goal that settled the 2-4 result.

For Pooking, the two goals and the strong possession figures offered evidence of useful attacking spells, but not enough control of the dangerous moments. Twelve corners without a third goal is a particularly tidy way to show that territory and threat are not always the same thing. Swand Town were more direct in turning their attacks into attempts, and Bonev and Novak supplied the decisive finishing. Their four goals against Pooking’s two make the outcome clear; the visitors did not need to dominate the ball to dominate the scoreboard.
