Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Widebiteigaton scored once from 1.03 xG, a return close to the chances’ estimated value. Skehafforn Wanderers scored four from 4.03 xG, likewise almost exactly on their expected total. This was not a case of a side conjuring goals from improbable scraps: the visitors built a much greater volume of chances, putting 14 of 19 shots on target, while the hosts managed four shots and all four on target. Possession was split evenly, but the balance of the ball did not translate into a balance of threat. The visitors’ four corners and higher passing accuracy fit the broader picture of more sustained pressure, while their quick succession of second-half goals turned that advantage into a decisive result.

The match’s turning point was not a single moment so much as the visitors’ steady accumulation of danger, followed by a remarkably compact burst of finishing. Widebiteigaton had the first goal, through Derek Stewart and Friedrich Unger, but Skehafforn Wanderers answered before half-time and then struck three times between the 57th and 63rd minutes. The hosts’ 50 per cent possession and 12 dribbles show they were not simply absent from the contest; they just found little reward for their share of the ball. At the other end, Skehafforn Wanderers required no elaborate argument: 19 attempts, 14 on target, and four goals made the case rather thoroughly.

• Widebiteigaton: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
