Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stester City scored four from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.29, an over-performance of 0.71 goals. That suggests the visitors finished somewhat more efficiently than the quality of their chances alone would predict, while the 16 shots and 11 on target show this was no isolated burst of fortune. Walming United recorded 0.61 xG but scored none, a shortfall of 0.61; with just three attempts, the hosts had little volume from which to build a response. The possession figures, 49% to 51%, were nearly level, but the shot count was not. Stester City turned a modest share of the ball into sustained attacking output, and the final margin reflects that imbalance.

For Walming United, the tackle count of 14 against Stester City’s four points to a side that had to do more defensive work, without finding enough attacking opportunities to change the course of the match. The hosts kept possession close and registered two shots on target, but neither became a goal. Their single yellow card came just after the interval; it was one of three cautions in a match where the more consequential numbers were the attempts and the score.

Stester City had the game’s first goal through Ruben Saravia in the 38th minute, then added three after the break. Francisco Santos and Chris Smith scored within five minutes of each other, and John Thomson completed the 0-4 result in the 86th minute. The visitors’ 11 shots on target underline how often they made their attacking efforts count as real tests. A near-even possession share offered little comfort to Walming United: Stester City’s greater volume, sharper finishing and four-goal return settled the contest decisively.
