Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Quedon Graple’s four goals came from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 2.1 xG, a substantial overperformance that turned a respectable attacking return into a four-goal haul. Hawley’s single goal from 1.28 xG was below its estimate, despite putting all five of its shots on target. That contrast matters: Hawley made its limited attempts count once, while Quedon Graple found the net repeatedly from a total volume of ten shots and seven on target. Possession was nearly even at 51%-49%, and the visitors actually won the corner count 8-4, so this was not simply a case of one side monopolising the ball or pinning the other back. The scoreline instead reflects the hosts’ sharper finishing across the match, particularly after the break, when three goals converted a level contest into a clear result.

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

Hawley had the better start and enough attacking activity to make the contest uncomfortable for Quedon Graple for a time. Allan Carroll’s fourth-minute goal, assisted by Pedro Chagas, gave the visitors an early lead; the eight corners and five shots on target underline that Hawley did not simply disappear from the game. Eckhard Köhler restored parity in the 32nd minute, and the sides went into the second half with the score level. Then the match moved decisively: Eric Moreau scored in the 63rd minute, Richard Stone added another six minutes later, and Moreau completed his brace in the 82nd. Stone’s yellow card in between was the one disciplinary event, a small interruption in a run of goals that otherwise kept arriving on schedule.

The 4-1 score is emphatic, though the underlying figures offer a more even account of the contest than the final margin. Hawley shared possession almost evenly, matched Quedon Graple for pass accuracy and tackles, and earned more corners; what it could not match was the hosts’ conversion of chances into goals. Quedon Graple’s attacking efficiency after the equaliser settled the game, while Hawley’s own xG suggests the visitors had a reasonable basis for expecting more than one goal. They left with one, the hosts with four, and the arithmetic was considerably less accommodating than the possession figures.
