Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Peadletfor at 3.14 xG and Holburne City at 1.97. Against those figures, the 4 - 1 scoreline had Peadletfor finishing 0.86 goals above expectation, while Holburne City finished 0.97 below theirs. The visitors did produce enough chances to suggest their goal was not an isolated accident, but the gap between their xG and their single finish was costly. Peadletfor, by contrast, converted four times from 13 shots, 12 of them on target: a notably sharp return, even if the estimate says the chances were worth a little over three goals.

The possession and corner counts show that Holburne City had more of the ball, 53% to 47%, and won nine corners to Peadletfor’s three. Those measures did not translate into control of the score. Peadletfor’s two goals from Patrick MacDonald in the 38th and 41st minutes changed the shape of the match quickly, and Mohamed Kandil extended the lead soon after the break. A fourth goal from Peter Collins made the margin emphatic before Segundo Perez supplied a late reply. The figures point to a home side that was more decisive with its opportunities, rather than one that needed to dominate possession to settle the contest.

• Holburne City: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The result was a clear win for Peadletfor, built around a decisive spell that began late in the first half and continued after the interval. Holburne City had more possession, more corners and seven shots on target, but could not turn that activity into enough goals to keep the match close. The late score at 85' gave the visitors something tangible for their efforts, though it arrived after the contest had already been pulled beyond reach. Peadletfor’s four goals from 13 attempts tell the central story: not overwhelming volume, but excellent finishing at the moments that mattered.
