Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Ellandow Town scored four goals from 4.18 xG, a slight underperformance against the chance-quality estimate, while Cherth Rovers scored once from 2.67 xG. That gap makes the final score particularly emphatic: the visitors’ estimate suggests their attacking opportunities carried more promise than the single goal showed, while Ellandow Town converted enough to build a three-goal margin. The hosts also recorded 22 shots, including 13 on target, against 13 shots and nine on target for Cherth Rovers. The visitors held 52% possession and had the higher pass accuracy, but those measures did not translate into matching the hosts’ volume of attempts or their return on the scoreboard. In short, Cherth Rovers had more of the ball and a respectable xG figure; Ellandow Town had the much better afternoon with the arithmetic.

No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded for either side.

The 4 - 1 result was assembled in distinct stages. Ellandow Town struck twice in the opening 14 minutes through Carlos Martinez and Hermann Jung, giving the hosts an early cushion. The match ledger records no assists for those goals, so their entries need no invented supply line. After three first-half bookings, Bernard Djedje pulled one back for Cherth Rovers in the 49th minute, assisted by Louis Perez, and briefly gave the visitors a goal to build on.

That response did not become a comeback. Graham Collins restored the two-goal margin six minutes later, and Ellandow Town added a fourth in the 61st minute, with David Robb credited with the assist. The final goal’s scorer is not identified in the record, which is a modest inconvenience for naming conventions and no obstacle to counting. Cherth Rovers had the possession edge and completed passes more accurately, but Ellandow Town finished with nine more shots and four more on target. The hosts’ four goals matched the broad scale of their xG, while the visitors’ higher estimate makes their solitary reply look lean. By full time, the scoreboard had made its position clear: Ellandow Town won 4 - 1, and Cherth Rovers were left with the ball, the numbers, and rather less to show for either.
