Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Bedburnham scored once from 0.89 xG, a modest overperformance of 0.11, while Dary St Ann scored three from 3.33 xG, finishing 0.33 below the chance-quality estimate. The larger difference was in the volume of opportunities: Dary St Ann registered 15 shots, 12 on target, against Bedburnham’s four shots and three on target. The visitors’ xG and shot count point to a sustained attacking advantage, even though Bedburnham had 54% possession and six corners to Dary St Ann’s four. Possession offered the hosts more of the ball, but not more of the useful attempts; Dary St Ann’s 46% was plainly sufficient for a three-goal return.

The opening goal gave Bedburnham an early lead, with Xinping Boon providing the assist, but Dary St Ann equalised through Zoran Božić in the 25th minute. The score then stayed level until the 80th, when Božić scored again, before completing his hat-trick in the 86th. That late pair settled the match at 3-1. The final margin was two goals, and the 3.33-0.89 xG gap suggests the result reflected the broad balance of chances, even if the scoreboard took until the closing stages to show it.
