For Rayth City, this was a comprehensive win built on accuracy in the final third, not a monopoly on the ball. Buryhill Park had the same possession and more corners, but the gap in shots on target left the central fact untouched: the hosts converted their pressure into nine goals, while the visitors could not turn their limited openings into one. The scoreline ran well beyond the xG estimate, yet the 18-1 advantage in shots on target makes the scale of Rayth City’s control hard to dismiss as mere statistical mischief.
