Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Lisburnsle scored twice from 1.49 xG, finishing modestly above the chance-quality estimate. Whipsopst produced 3.45 xG and scored six, a much larger return than the estimate would suggest. That difference points to unusually clinical finishing on top of a clear advantage in chance volume: Whipsopst attempted 16 shots and put 12 on target, while Lisburnsle managed seven attempts, five on target. Possession was exactly even, but the two sides did not use it to create equal amounts of danger. The visitors’ edge in shots, dribbles and tackles fits a performance in which they repeatedly made the more forceful use of the ball and kept finding routes to goal.

Lisburnsle had no players rated 7.0 or higher.

Whipsopst

• John Davies (8.9) - Scored three goals and assisted another, contributing directly to four of Whipsopst’s six.
• Gerard Smit (8.6) - Scored twice and supplied two assists, matching Davies for involvement in four goals.

For Lisburnsle, the two goals offered a response at 25 minutes and another at 73, but neither changed the shape of the contest for long. Each time, Whipsopst restored its scoring momentum, and the final goal arrived at 87 minutes to complete the 6-2 result. The one yellow card went to Jasper van der Meulen at 45 minutes; the figures otherwise show no dismissals and no shortage of attacking output from the visitors.

The possession count might suggest a balanced afternoon if read in isolation. The rest of the record is less diplomatic: Whipsopst had more than twice as many shots, more attempts on target, and a substantial advantage in tackles and dribbles. Lisburnsle did convert its chances well enough to score twice, but Whipsopst paired that pressure with exceptional finishing. A 6-2 scoreline is not a narrow verdict, and the gap between the teams’ attacking returns made sure of that.
