Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Noroynton produced 2.36 xG but scored none, a substantial failure to convert the chances represented by that estimate. Headfort County registered 6.04 xG and scored nine, finishing nearly three goals above expectation. The 30-10 shot count and 20-9 advantage in shots on target underline the visitors’ territorial and attacking edge, while the scoreline says they were even more ruthless than the chance-quality estimate anticipated. Noroynton did find the target frequently, but the attempts yielded no return; Headfort County combined volume with finishing that made a heavy win heavier still.

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

The final 0 - 9 reflects both the gulf in shot volume and Headfort County’s extraordinary return in front of goal. The visitors had only a slight possession advantage, but produced three times as many shots, tackled more often and converted their opportunities at a rate that outran their xG. Noroynton’s nine shots on target make the blank especially stark: there was attacking activity, just no reward to show for it. Two yellow cards arrived for the hosts, while Headfort County finished without one. By the time Andrew Walsh made it nine in the 87th minute, the result had long since stopped needing clarification.
