Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wedley United scored six from an xG of 3.01, finishing well above the chance-quality estimate. Eleven of their 13 shots were on target, so this was not a scoreline built on a couple of speculative efforts finding the postcode; the finishing was unusually productive, and the repeated accuracy gave that quality a firm foundation. Garehinch finished with no goals from 0.11 xG, a figure consistent with a single shot that never tested the target. The visitors won eight corners to Wedley United’s three, but those set-piece opportunities did not translate into a shot on target. With possession nearly even, the decisive difference was what each side made of its chances: Wedley United turned a modest-looking share of the ball into six goals, while Garehinch could not turn its corners into a credible reply.
- No Garehinch players reached a recorded rating of 7.0.
The six-goal margin was settled well before the final whistle, with Milan Kovačević scoring twice in the first half and Moussa Sow adding his second after the break. Garehinch did collect more corners and attempt more dribbles, but neither measure produced a shot on target; the visitors had activity, if not the sort that troubled the scoreboard. Wedley United were booked three times, while Garehinch received four yellow cards, and the match’s tally of seven cautions offers a small counterpoint to the otherwise one-sided result. The ending was uncomplicated: Wedley United scored six, Garehinch scored none, and the xG gap was far narrower than the final score without suggesting the visitors had found a way to threaten.
