Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wington Villa produced 0.81 xG and no goals, while Soughouth United scored five from an xG of 3. The visitors therefore finished two goals above their chance-quality estimate; the hosts fell short of theirs by 0.81. That is a sizeable over-performance, but the shot totals help explain how the gap became so emphatic: Soughouth United put 11 of 13 attempts on target, compared with two of Wington Villa’s five. Possession favoured the hosts, 54 per cent to 46, yet it did not translate into enough testing work. The visitors needed less of the ball and made much more of their opportunities, a tidy arrangement if you can manage it.

• No Wington Villa players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The score was already 3-0 by the 34th minute, with Paul Turner, Paul Stam and Leonardo Do Nascimento all on the board before the break. Wington Villa did have more possession and matched Soughouth United for corners, but the visitors’ advantage in shots, shots on target and dribbles points to a more direct threat when they did move forward. The second-half goals from Paul Stam and Paul Turner made the result still heavier; the hosts never found a goal to change the account of the afternoon.

There were four yellow cards, three to Soughouth United and one to Wington Villa, but no red cards. The visitors’ 12 fouls came alongside 12 tackles, while Wington Villa recorded three fouls and seven tackles. Neither side had a corner advantage, and both completed passes at a similar rate. Those details offer little shelter from the central fact: Soughouth United won 5-0, with their finishing turning a strong attacking display into a five-goal margin.
