Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Bursidge’s 4.23 xG sits close to their four actual goals, a slight shortfall of 0.23 rather than a case of finishing far beyond the chances created. The estimate also underlines how much threat they generated: 18 shots, with 16 on target, and goals arriving at 17', 23' and 32' to put the contest firmly in their hands before half-time. Thomas Spencer’s second, assisted by Matt Collins at 58', added to that advantage after the break. Soughborn’s 0.01 xG and zero shots tell a starkly different story. Their 57% possession, nine corners and 83% pass accuracy did not translate into an attempt, leaving the ball’s travels more numerous than its visits to goal.

For all of Soughborn’s possession and corner count, the visitors could not turn their share of the ball into a shot, while Bursidge made their attacking moments count with four goals. The score accurately reflects that contrast: Bursidge’s chance quality and accuracy were decisive, and Soughborn’s possession produced no measurable goal threat. Four goals to none is not a close reading of the afternoon, even if the ball spent more time with the side that left without a shot.
