Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Crough Town finished with 0.01 xG and zero attempts, so the 0 in their scoring column was not an unlucky accident so much as a faithful record of the afternoon’s attacking output. Hunbrield created 3.24 xG and scored four, a modest over-performance of 0.76 goals: clinical, but not wildly at odds with the chances generated. The possession figures, 48% to 52%, suggest this was not a matter of Hunbrield monopolising the ball. The sharper distinction was in what each side did with it: 14 shots, 12 on target and 11 dribbles for the visitors, against no shots and five dribbles for Crough Town. Hunbrield’s 15 tackles also point to a side able to recover possession and keep the pressure moving. The hosts won five corners, but none became a shot; a small statistical island in a rather large sea of visitor attempts.

No Crough Town players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The four-goal margin was built in stages: Adrian Siew opened the scoring in the 25th minute, then Pedro Chagas struck soon after the break and again in the 72nd. Phillip Lewis added the fourth in the 87th, with Eric Hussain providing his second assist of the match. Crough Town collected three yellow cards, but the more consequential figure was still zero shots; discipline could not change the basic shape of the contest. Hunbrield had only four more percentage points of possession, yet made its possession far more productive. The final 4-0 score matched a match in which the visitors created, tested and finished, while the hosts never found a shot to interrupt the pattern.
