Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Ruston-Twe scored four from 5.63 xG, finishing 1.63 below the chance-quality estimate despite a dominant volume of attempts and 20 shots on target. That is less a failure to create than a reminder that even a busy goalmouth does not guarantee every good opportunity becomes a goal. Wing Sale scored twice from 1.15 xG, exceeding its estimate by 0.85. With only five shots, the visitors were markedly more clinical; their two second-half goals made the contest look closer than the overall shot count suggested. The hosts’ 52% possession and shot advantage point to sustained attacking pressure, while Wing Sale’s eight corners to three hint at a different, more episodic route to danger.

The scoreline was settled by Ruston-Twe’s four-goal first-half burst, completed when Ousmane Koudou struck for the third time on the stroke of half-time. Wing Sale responded after the break through Simeon Dimitrov and Amaro Pereira, reducing the gap to two, but did not add to that pair of goals. The hosts’ three yellow cards, compared with one for the visitors, add a small note of disorder to an afternoon otherwise defined by their attacking production. Ruston-Twe created enough to win by more; Wing Sale found enough efficiency to ensure the closing stretch was not merely administrative.

• Wing Sale had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
