Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Patent Albion produced 4.19 xG and scored six, finishing 1.81 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That points to excellent conversion on top of a substantial volume of opportunities: 19 shots, 15 on target, against only three shots from Spalth. The visitors scored twice from those three attempts, also beating their 0.83 xG, but that sharp return could not compensate for how rarely they threatened. Patent Albion had 56% possession and the far greater attacking volume, so the eventual six-goal haul reflected sustained pressure as well as unusually clinical finishing. The two early goals made the contest look more evenly balanced than the shot and xG figures suggest; from the available numbers, Spalth made its limited chances count, while Patent Albion created enough to keep asking the question.

For a spell, Spalth had the scoreboard doing more work than its underlying attacking output. Emmanuel Bello opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and Neo Yu restored the visitors’ lead after Brett Crawford had equalised. Patent Albion responded with another goal from Crawford before the break, then moved ahead through Abdoulaye Koita four minutes into the second half. The later sequence settled the result decisively: Dušan Babić scored in the 75th and 83rd minutes, with Crawford adding his third between them. Kruljac assisted all three of those late goals, a tidy contribution to a match in which the attacking supply line kept arriving on schedule. Spalth had more corners and dribbles, but the visitors’ three shots underline how little of that activity became sustained threat.

• No Spalth players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.

The 6-2 result was a clear win for Patent Albion, built on a large advantage in shots and chance quality and finished with a run of three goals in eight minutes. Spalth showed real efficiency in scoring twice from only three attempts, but the gap in volume left little room for that early promise to last. Patent Albion converted its pressure into six goals and distributed the scoring across Crawford, Babić and Koita; in the end, the visitors’ early lead proved a brief piece of arithmetic rather than a reliable forecast.
