Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stalersford scored four goals from 3.64 xG, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate, while Buckleck Athletic scored once from 0.98 xG, almost exactly in line with theirs. The hosts’ 15 shots, 14 on target and three-goal margin over their visitors’ xG reflect a direct, efficient afternoon in the attacking areas. Buckleck Athletic had 57% possession, seven corners and 86% pass accuracy, but managed only five shots and three on target. They circulated the ball more and found room to dribble, yet possession did not become sustained threat. Stalersford, by contrast, needed less of the ball and made its limited share considerably more productive.

• Buckleck Athletic had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The timing of the goals gave Stalersford control early, then restored it just after the break: Armando Martinez opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and Rafael Atencio doubled the lead seven minutes later. Nedžad Tadić made it three in the 47th, leaving Buckleck Athletic with a steep task despite its advantages in possession and corners. David Howell pulled one back in the 78th minute, but Franz Wolf answered six minutes later to settle the score at 4-1. The visitors’ late goal offered a reminder that the contest was not entirely beyond reach; the reply made sure the reminder did not last long.
