Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Leywood City’s 3 goals from 2.19 xG put the hosts 0.81 above the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate, a sizeable return from the opportunities available. Bedge United scored once from 0.88 xG, a modest excess of 0.12, so the visitors did make their limited shooting count. The broader numbers point to Leywood having the stronger attacking return: 11 shots and 7 on target against Bedge’s 4 and 3. That the visitors won the corner count 7-1 suggests they found routes to the final third, but corners alone did not translate into a comparable volume of shots. Leywood’s scoring burst after conceding gave the match its decisive shape, with the third goal arriving before the interval.

• Bedge United had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The 3-1 scoreline reflects both Leywood’s finishing and the gap in shot volume, though Bedge were not entirely shut out of the contest: they had more corners, more dribbles and more tackles. The difference was that Leywood converted its attacking pressure into goals, while Bedge’s opportunities produced one. The hosts also edged possession and pass accuracy, giving them a small advantage in control without needing to dominate every measure on the sheet.

Bedge’s opening goal made the afternoon briefly less straightforward for Leywood, but the response was immediate and then emphatic. Visser supplied the turning point with two goals, and Paul Wang added the third before the break. With no further goals in the recorded events, the second half brought cards rather than a renewed contest for the scoreline. Leywood leave with a clear 3-1 win; Bedge leave with seven corners and the less useful end of the arithmetic.
