Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Havandham scored five from 6.38 xG, finishing below the chance quality their volume created, though five goals is a respectable way to leave some expected value on the table. Gospattle Rangers scored twice from 1.3 xG, an appreciable over-performance built from just five shots, all on target. The contrast is the tactical headline: the sides shared possession almost evenly, and the visitors were efficient with their limited attempts, but Havandham generated 29 shots and kept producing opportunities. The scoreline reflected that sustained pressure, even if the visitors made their own small collection of chances count.

The result leaves little doubt about which side imposed itself in front of goal: Havandham outshot Gospattle Rangers by 24 and put 23 efforts on target. The visitors’ 51 per cent possession and higher pass accuracy show that they were not simply absent from the contest, and their two goals from five attempts made sure the match had real movement before the hosts pulled clear. But the balance of chances was emphatically with Havandham, whose five scorers’ worth of damage came from a sustained stream of attacking work. A 5-2 win is a comfortable margin, and the shot count suggests it was earned the long way: by repeatedly asking the opposition to deal with one more attempt.
