Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Soley Orient scored four from an xG of 3.58, finishing modestly above the chance-quality estimate. Royalve Athletic, by contrast, finished without a goal despite an xG of 1.71, a substantial gap between the opportunities represented by the estimate and the final score. The shot totals help explain the difference: Soley Orient put 13 of 16 attempts on target, while Royalve Athletic managed six on target from eight shots. The hosts did not need to dominate possession to generate the greater volume of attempts or, more importantly, convert them. Their first goal arrived in the 35th minute, but the decisive separation came after 77 minutes, when Andre Storm scored twice in quick succession and helped set up Gaetan Wood for the fourth. The xG figures suggest Royalve Athletic had chances of their own; the scoreboard records that Soley Orient were markedly more effective at the business end.

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

The final 4 - 0 score was emphatic, though the route there was not a tale of one side monopolising every part of the game. Royalve Athletic edged possession, corners, dribbles and pass accuracy, while both sides recorded six tackles. Soley Orient were more forceful in the foul count and, crucially, much busier in front of goal. The early cards for Ricardo Hernandez, Jovo Agić and Gaetan Wood marked a stop-start opening; after Ebrahim Galal broke the deadlock, the match remained poised until the late burst. Then Soley Orient turned a one-goal lead into a four-goal margin in nine minutes. A clean sheet and four goals made the closing stretch rather conclusive, even if the possession figures kept a small record of Royalve Athletic having more of the ball.
