Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Crand Straide recorded 6.03 xG and scored four, finishing below the chances’ estimated value despite a commanding return. Stever Park produced 0.86 xG and no goals, a smaller shortfall in absolute terms but one that left little room for recovery. The shot count tells much of the tactical story: 27 attempts to four, with the visitors also leading 22-3 in shots on target and 60%-40% in possession. Their volume and territorial control repeatedly tested the hosts, while Stever Park had too few opportunities to make the contest turn. The visitors’ red card at 32' complicated their afternoon, but did not stop them adding two more goals after the dismissal. The numbers suggest a side that kept creating under changed circumstances, and another that could not turn its limited attacking moments into a goal.

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

For Stever Park, the 0 - 4 defeat was not a matter of being edged out by a single decisive moment: the gap in attempts and chances was substantial from the final figures. The hosts did make three of their four shots count as efforts on target, but that modest output was not enough against a Crand Straide side that kept the pressure up and found four goals. The visitors’ one red card and three yellow cards underline that the win was not an entirely serene procession; still, they maintained their attacking output after the dismissal and left with a clear result. Walker’s two goals and assist gave the performance its brightest individual line, while Stever Park will need more ways to relieve pressure and threaten at the other end.
