Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Crouthe-Seaton scored three from 4.67 xG, finishing below the chance-quality estimate despite the emphatic volume of their attack. Wincarkby Forest scored once from 1.03 xG, a return close to expectation, but had far fewer opportunities to work with. The 21-4 shot count and 17-4 tally of efforts on target show how thoroughly Crouthe-Seaton supplied the attacking pressure; the 50-50 possession split suggests that territorial control was not simply a matter of keeping the ball. Instead, the hosts made their possession more productive in the final third. Their failure to convert more of the chances explains why the score remained within reach after Momir Grgić pulled one back, though the late third goal restored a more comfortable margin.

For Wincarkby Forest, the scoreline offered a reminder that an efficient spell can change the mood of a match even when chances are scarce. Grgić’s 61st-minute goal brought the visitors back into it, and four shots on target from four attempts is a tidy return by any measure. But Crouthe-Seaton kept producing the more substantial threat, with Werner Simon involved in two of the three goals and the hosts finding a final answer through Carlos Sarmiento in the 87th minute. The yellow cards accumulated on the visitors’ side as they tried to stay in the contest; the goals, ultimately, did not accumulate quickly enough.
