Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Sougham Park 1.19 xG and Mageford City 1.86, yet the actual goals read 4-0. The hosts therefore finished far beyond the chances their total suggests, while Mageford City ended the afternoon without a goal despite the higher estimate. Their eight shots, seven on target and 53% possession show that the visitors had opportunities and more of the ball, but none became a score. Sougham Park, by contrast, put four of five shots on target and converted with striking efficiency. The 11-1 tackle count also points to a substantial difference in defensive work: possession belonged more to the visitors, but the hosts did much more of the tackling and made their early chances count.

• No Mageford City players reached a rating of 7.0.

For Sougham Park, the first nine minutes established a cushion that the rest of the first half turned into a four-goal lead. The timing mattered: Nilson Pires scored in the second minute, Michel Lemoine added another seven minutes later, and goals from Philippe Robert and Pedro Chagas before the break left Mageford City with a steep task. The hosts’ three yellow cards show that the afternoon was not entirely serene, but their defensive effort held firm after the scoring stopped. Mageford City had more possession, more shots and more shots on target; those advantages made the visitors busy, not successful. Four goals from 1.19 xG is a remarkable return, and a 4-0 final score is not obliged to be modest about it.
