Leigh City 5 - 0 Brudbacklinch

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Leigh City at 3.74 xG and Brudbacklinch at 0.01. Five goals from 3.74 xG is a substantial over-performance, while the visitors’ single hundredth of expected goal accurately reflects their absence of shots. Leigh City did not need to own the ball to own the danger: 19 attempts, 12 on target and a five-goal margin made the possession figure an interesting statistic rather than a description of control where it mattered.

The scoring began in the 37th minute and gathered pace after the break, with three goals between the 55th and 72nd minutes before Leigh City added two more in quick succession. That spread suggests a side that kept applying pressure rather than settling for its early advantage. Brudbacklinch completed more dribbles and passed with greater accuracy, but with no attempt on goal, those measures remained activity without threat. The final 5 - 0 was a clear result, and the shot count explains why the scoreline was not a close call.
