Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Sand Carwitne Park 3.01 xG and Higgley Dew United 0.36. Against that measure, the hosts scored almost four goals above expectation, while the visitors finished without a goal despite their small expected return. The figures suggest Sand Carwitne Park converted chances with exceptional sharpness; the 11 shots on target from 13 attempts make that finishing less of a statistical mirage and more of a sustained problem for Higgley Dew United. The visitors had 55% possession and 17 corners, but managed only two shots, one on target. Territory and set-piece volume did not become enough attempts to trouble the scoreboard, while Sand Carwitne Park needed only one corner to build a seven-goal lead.

• No Higgley Dew United players reached a rating of 7.0.

The final margin reflects a striking split between control of the ball and control of the outcome. Higgley Dew United passed more accurately, dribbled more often and won a remarkable number of corners, but those advantages produced just two shots. Sand Carwitne Park were more direct in the only measure that ultimately settled the contest: turning their 13 attempts into seven goals. The hosts’ scoring run stretched from Francisco Costa’s opener through Sion Payne’s third in the 82nd minute, with Luiz Dos Reis’ brace adding further weight after the break. On this evidence, Higgley Dew United found ways to occupy the attacking end, but Sand Carwitne Park found the far more useful way to leave it.
