For Townham, the possession and passing figures offer little comfort beside the decisive attacking disparity: one attempt to Tham Athletic’s 14, and no goal to five. The hosts did win three corners and recorded more dribbles, but neither measure changed the central fact that Tham Athletic put 12 shots on target. The visitors also made their chances count early, scoring three times between the 13th and 25th minutes, then added another before the interval. That sequence made the afternoon’s direction plain well before the fifth goal arrived.
Tham Athletic’s win was emphatic, and its finishing took the score beyond the xG estimate. Still, 3.24 expected goals and 12 shots on target show this was not a five-goal result conjured from a single fortunate moment. Townham had the ball more often; Tham Athletic supplied the pressure, the attempts and, most importantly, the goals. The scoreboard was not especially interested in possession.
