Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Nellowbridd 3.99 xG and Stever Park 0.26. The six goals therefore put Nellowbridd more than two goals above the estimate, a substantial finishing return; the visitors converted a large share of their opportunities, though 13 shots on target from 20 attempts shows this was not a case of scoring from a handful of unlikely efforts. Stever Park, by contrast, finished with one shot, on target, and no goal. The scoreline was emphatic, while the xG gap of 3.73 still says the final margin ran ahead of the underlying chance-quality estimate. With 52% possession and an 88% pass accuracy, Nellowbridd had a modest edge in control as well as the overwhelming advantage in shot volume. Stever Park recorded 16 tackles to the visitors’ three, but that work did not translate into sustained attacking pressure; defending occupied most of the afternoon, and the single attempt tells the rest without needing to raise its voice.

Pedro Chagas did not reach a rating of 7.0 or higher for Stever Park.

Bruno Rossi (8.4) - Scored three times, providing the decisive finishing touch to Nellowbridd’s commanding win. Joaquim Lourenço (7.6) - Scored twice, including the opening goal and the early strike that doubled the lead. Antonio Quijada (7.0) - Supplied two assists, helping turn Nellowbridd’s attacking pressure into goals.

For Stever Park, the problem was not a lack of effort in the defensive numbers: 16 tackles and seven fouls indicate plenty of interruption, but the one shot left little prospect of changing the contest. The early goals made the task harder before it had properly begun, and Nellowbridd added three more after the interval to carry the result to 0 - 6. The visitors’ 20 attempts and 13 on target underline the scale of their attacking advantage, while the six goals show how ruthlessly they used it. Nellowbridd leave with a decisive win; Stever Park are left with a match in which the defensive workload was considerable and the attacking contribution remarkably brief.
