Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Cheact Villa scored seven from an xG of 4.39, exceeding the chance-quality estimate by 2.61 goals. That is a substantial finishing surplus, though the 21 shots and 15 on target show this was not a victory conjured from a couple of speculative efforts. Burborpe Park registered one shot, worth 0.26 xG, and scored none. The visitors’ 55 per cent possession did little to change the more consequential figures: Cheact Villa created the volume and kept returning to the penalty area, while Burborpe Park rarely made possession count as a threat.

The early opener gave Cheact Villa control of the scoreboard, and Ryan Barnett doubled the lead before half-time. The third arrived six minutes after the restart; from there, the margin grew steadily rather than requiring a late flurry to disguise a close contest. Dion Irie scored twice, Jonathan Rubilar also finished with a brace, and Michael Smidt supplied three assists. The numbers describe a side that did not need to dominate the ball to dominate the match. Seven goals against 0.26 xG conceded is a particularly emphatic way to make that distinction.

No Burborpe Park players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
