Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Dorley Park 1.21 xG and Kesforquay 3.69. Against those figures, Kesforquay scored 5, exceeding its estimate by 1.31, while Dorley Park scored none despite generating chances worth 1.21. That is a sizeable difference in finishing, but the shot totals help explain why the result grew so emphatic: Kesforquay produced 17 attempts and 13 on target, while the hosts had six attempts and four on target. The near-even possession split did not translate into an even contest in the penalty areas; Kesforquay created far more work for the opposing defence and converted enough of it to make the scoreline a blunt summary of the afternoon.

The sequence of goals gave the visitors a foothold before the break, then a firm grip after it. Kingsley Lawal opened the scoring in the 24th minute with Rino Ishida providing the assist, and another Kesforquay goal followed six minutes later. The record does not name that scorer, so the match report will not recruit one from the imagination. After the interval, Ishida scored from Jose Da Silva’s pass, and Da Silva assisted again when Ivane Jiqia made it four. Lawal completed his brace in the 76th minute, assisted by Carlos Gonçalves. By then, Dorley Park had not found a reply, and the final score was Dorley Park 0 - 5 Kesforquay.

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

The possession numbers, 51% for Dorley Park and 49% for Kesforquay, offer a small reminder that control of the ball and control of a match are related but not identical occupations. The visitors also made 14 tackles to the hosts’ seven, while both sides recorded six dribbles. Kesforquay finished with fewer corners, three to six, yet the wider attacking return was decisive: five goals, 17 shots and a clean sheet. For Dorley Park, four shots on target and six corners brought no score; for Kesforquay, the afternoon ended with the more useful statistic, a five-goal margin.
