Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Poleesbritch 3.88 xG to Hexby Ive United’s 2.02. The final 3-1 score therefore slightly undersells Poleesbritch’s expected return, while Hexby Ive United scored once from chances valued at about two goals. That home-side shortfall matters: all eight of Hexby Ive United’s shots were on target, but the visitors produced 19 attempts and 13 on target, creating the broader and more threatening body of work. Possession was almost evenly divided, 51% to 49%, yet Poleesbritch were more direct in turning attacks into shots. Their 19 tackles and six corners also point to a side that repeatedly won possession and carried pressure forward, rather than simply waiting for the home side to make a mistake.

Hexby Ive United: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Poleesbritch:

• Luca Colombo (7.6) - Scored twice, including the 86th-minute goal that restored a two-goal cushion and made the result secure.

The two first-half goals gave Poleesbritch control, and although Valerio Cirillo’s 73rd-minute finish briefly made the contest more interesting, the visitors did not let the game drift into uncertainty. Colombo’s late goal completed his brace and matched the shape of a match in which Poleesbritch had consistently generated more chances. The near-even possession figures might suggest a close balance, but the shot count tells a plainer story: Hexby Ive United were accurate with their attempts; Poleesbritch simply found the goal more often.
