Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Nuney Park scored six from 2.18 xG, an over-performance of 3.82 goals; Shrawen scored twice from 1.34 xG, exceeding its estimate by 0.66. The combined eight goals from 3.52 xG makes this a strikingly generous return for the chances measured. Nuney Park put eight of nine shots on target and converted often enough to make its finishing the decisive feature of the match. Shrawen had more possession, more dribbles and four shots on target, but that control did not translate into enough goals to keep pace. The numbers suggest an unusually clinical home side rather than a match in which possession alone dictated the outcome.

• No Shrawen players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The 6-2 scoreline gives a clear account of Nuney Park’s advantage, but the route there had a brief interruption. After Keith Tan and Adilson Varela scored in quick succession, Shrawen had reduced the deficit to two; Rony Delgado’s goal eight minutes later checked the comeback, and Živko Stupar followed with his second. Shrawen finished with 53% possession and twice as many dribbles as Nuney Park, yet the hosts’ eight shots on target from nine attempts underline how little margin they left for wastefulness. The sides were even on corners and pass accuracy, and neither was shown a red card. In the end, Nuney Park made considerably more of its attacking returns, while Shrawen’s spell of renewed hope proved just that: a spell.
