Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Sougham 3.34 xG against five actual goals, an overperformance of 1.66. That is a substantial return above the estimate, but not a result built on an isolated streak of fortune: Sougham recorded 15 shots, 12 on target, while Saltone City had one effort and no shots on target. The hosts’ 0.11 xG reflects how little threat they created; the visitors’ five goals made a clear scoreboard statement from a match in which they also held 52% possession. The numbers point to a straightforward tactical difference: Sougham repeatedly turned their attacks into attempts requiring a response, while Saltone City rarely troubled the goal.

• No standout performers rated 7.0 or above for Saltone City.

The scoreline was already 2-0 by half-time, and Sougham added three more goals between the 55th and 69th minutes. Saltone City had more corners and recorded more dribbles, but neither advantage translated into a shot on target; in football, possession of a statistic is not always possession of the match. The visitors’ four yellow cards to the hosts’ two added a scruffier note to an otherwise decisive performance, but the goals remained the main business. At 5-0, Sougham had made the gulf in attacking output impossible to overlook, while Saltone City were left with a single shot as the most concise account of their afternoon.
