Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Noroughop's Hey scored seven from an xG of 4.84, outperforming the chance-quality estimate by 2.16 goals. That points to unusually effective finishing on top of a substantial flow of chances: 18 of the side's 21 attempts were on target. Havand City recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, so the 0-0 gap in their attacking ledger was not a case of promising opportunities going unfinished. The hosts had 54% possession and the sharper passing accuracy, but the decisive measure was how often they turned attacks into work for the opposing defence.

The scoreline grew in stages: Ulisses Da Graça struck after two minutes, Cesar Carreño added a second before half-time, then scored again immediately after the interval. The late goals from Luca Colombo, Cesar Carreño, Francisco Teixeira and Ulisses Da Graça stretched the margin further, with three arriving in the final 15 minutes. Havand City made more dribbles and tackles and won the same number of corners, but none of those measures brought a shot; Noroughop's Hey made its pressure count in the only currency that stayed on the scoreboard.
