Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Hawlintotgridd scored four goals from 3.69 xG, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate that fits a side which repeatedly turned pressure into dangerous attempts. The hosts had 17 shots, 13 on target, and 10 corners, alongside 60% possession; those figures describe sustained territorial control rather than a brief burst of fortune. Basin Athletic, by contrast, scored twice from 0.67 xG with just three shots, two on target. That is substantial over-performance, particularly for a side with so few attempts, and its late goals gave the scoreline a more dramatic finish than the underlying chance balance suggested. The visitors found a way to punish the closing stages, but not to make the earlier contest even.

For Hawlintotgridd, the most striking work was the combination between Lindomar Da Silva and Harry Stevens: the former supplied the first three assists, while the latter scored twice before returning the favour. Jose Zuluaga also added a goal to the hosts’ first-half run, and Hawlintotgridd extended the lead to four in the 51st minute. The late response from Basin Athletic deserves its place in the account, especially given how few chances the visitors had created. Michael Brown converted a pass from Michel Lemoine, who then scored himself in the 89th minute. Those goals narrowed the margin, but could not undo the distance established before them.
