Wellin Hotspur 6 - 0 Broald Albion

Wellin’s 3.16 xG became six goals, a substantial over-performance that reflects both sharp finishing and a day when nearly every route toward goal seemed to lead somewhere unpleasant for Broald. The visitors’ 0.01 xG and zero shots tell the other half of the story: they had 48% possession, but very little of it translated into danger. Wellin did not need a vast territorial advantage to dominate the meaningful parts of the match. John Jones supplied a goal and three assists, while Francisco Lopes scored twice; the hosts turned their chances into a decisive lead before the half-hour and added three more after the interval.

There was no late suspense to rescue the contest. The final four goals came at 60', 62' and 82', while Broald’s three yellow cards arrived in the closing minutes, when the score had long since settled the matter. Wellin’s 52% possession and 83% passing accuracy were not overwhelming figures in isolation, but the 13-0 shot count gave them a rather persuasive context. Broald won one more corner, which at least provides a small statistical curiosity for the match programme.
