Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Wothworport 3.33 xG and Soham Wanderers 2.05, against three actual goals apiece. Wothworport therefore finished just below its expected return, while Soham scored nearly a goal more than its estimate suggested. That points to a contrast in the finishing: Wothworport created the greater overall chance value, but Pires converted all three of Soham’s goals into a remarkably efficient answer. The shot figures add useful context: Wothworport recorded 15 attempts, 12 on target, while Soham had eight attempts and put all eight on target. Soham also held 59 per cent possession and completed passes more accurately, but possession did not translate into the larger xG total. Wothworport’s 17 tackles, against seven for Soham, indicate a more intervention-heavy approach; it helped the hosts build a lead, but could not prevent the late recovery.

• Wothworport: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Nilson Pires (8.4) - Scored all three Soham Wanderers goals, turning a difficult-looking deficit into a draw.

The sequence of the match leaves Wothworport with a point that will feel smaller than the chances they fashioned, while Soham Wanderers can take encouragement from recovering after falling two goals behind. The hosts scored early, then struck twice in seven second-half minutes to establish what looked like control; Pires’ second and third goals in the final 15 minutes made that lead temporary. Soham’s eight shots all finding the target speaks to accuracy, and its three goals from 2.05 xG to clinical execution. In the end, Wothworport’s higher chance total and Soham’s sharper finishing cancelled each other out, with the scoreboard arriving at a conclusion neither side could quite keep.
