Hedge Wanderers No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Hatch United’s four-goal haul made the decisive difference in a match where the underlying numbers were closer than the final score. The hosts had three more shots, twice as many on target and the stronger xG figure, but the conversion gap was especially stark: four goals from 2.25 xG against one from 1.17. Hedge Wanderers kept the ball moving with 86% pass accuracy and attempted more dribbles, yet those measures did not translate into enough accurate attempts to keep pace.

The late goal from Thiago Gomes, assisted by Allan Carroll, ensured Hedge Wanderers had a mark on the scoreboard after Xinping Boon had made it 4-0. Three yellow cards for the visitors and two for Hatch United added a brisk disciplinary subplot; the foul count, 13-7, leaned the other way, toward the hosts. In the end, Hatch United took a clear 4-1 victory by being more productive with their chances, while Hedge Wanderers left with a goal, a lively dribble count and the less generous column of the scoreline.
