Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Diston Stanley scored six from an xG of 3.4, finishing 2.6 goals above the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. Petham Park scored once from 1.62 xG, falling 0.62 short of its expected return. The shot figures help explain how the match escaped the visitors: Diston Stanley put 13 of 14 attempts on target, while Petham Park managed six on target from seven. The hosts did not need to dominate possession to impose themselves; their accuracy and repeated scoring after the break turned an initially competitive contest into a decisive result. Petham Park had 53% possession and a higher pass-accuracy figure, but neither measure could make up for the difference in finishing.

• No Petham Park players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early sequence offered Petham Park a lead and the match a brisk supply of bookings: the visitors were cautioned twice before Faruk Leko put them ahead, and Diston Stanley collected three yellow cards by the 18th minute. The hosts answered through Pedro Torres, then moved in front when Ibro Alić scored in the 40th minute. That first-half turnaround was important, but it was the pair of goals from Rumen Aleksandrov after the break that made the margin emphatic. Joel Aranda added another before Ibro Alić completed the six-goal return at the end. With six bookings of their own, Diston Stanley managed to combine a commanding scoreline with a notably busy disciplinary column; the scoreboard did not seem troubled by the contradiction.
