Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Con-Sea scored eight from an xG of 3.42, finishing 4.58 goals above the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. That is emphatic over-performance, though 13 shots on target from 14 attempts give the scoreline a substantial foundation: this was not merely a handful of unlikely strikes finding their way in. Dovershop Villa recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, so their 57 per cent possession and nine corners brought no measurable attacking return. The visitors had more of the ball; Con-Sea made far more of the moments that mattered.

No Dovershop Villa player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The statistics leave a curious split: Dovershop Villa led possession, corners, dribbles and tackles, but did not register a shot. Con-Sea were more efficient with less of the ball and kept converting pressure into goals, scoring four times before the interval and adding four more after it. The visitors’ nine corners and 57 per cent possession are evidence of activity, if not of danger; football’s paperwork can be very thorough about what did not happen. Con-Sea finish with an 8-0 win, and the gap between the sides was plain both on the scoreboard and in the only statistic that never needs interpretation: the visitors’ zero attempts.
