Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Majorkelste scored five from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.0 xG, outperforming the estimate by two goals. That is a substantial return, though the 11 shots on target from 13 attempts show the finishing was backed by a steady supply of efforts that tested the keeper. Crand Park recorded 0.36 xG and one shot on target from two attempts, so its 53% possession and eight corners did not translate into much threat. The contrast was not simply who held the ball: Majorkelste made its attacks count, while the visitors’ territory yielded little evidence of a breakthrough.

• No Crand Park players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The first goal arrived in the sixth minute, and McPherson doubled the advantage before the half-hour mark. Those early strikes gave Majorkelste room to manage the match without needing to dominate possession. After the interval, Araneda and Jakobsen extended the lead, and Jennings completed the scoring in the 86th minute. Five goals from five different passages of the match is a fairly thorough way to make the afternoon feel long for an opponent.

The numbers leave Crand Park with more possession, more corners and more dribbles, but only two shots and one on target. Majorkelste, by contrast, paired a modest share of the ball with 13 attempts and 11 efforts on target. The 5-0 result matches that imbalance in threat, even if the home side’s finishing exceeded its xG. For Majorkelste, it was a convincing win built on turning chances into goals; for Crand Park, the possession was present, but the scoreline kept its own account.
