Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Baston Town scored four from an xG of 3.68, a slight overperformance that fits the match’s broad pattern: they registered 17 shots, with 13 on target, and made their attacking volume count. Dunstlow Athletic scored once from 1.62 xG, underperforming that estimate despite putting six of seven shots on target. The visitors were not without opportunities, but the final score reflects the difference between their single goal and Baston Town’s more productive attack. Possession was close at 51% to 49%, so control of the ball alone does little to explain the separation; the shot totals and the home side’s four goals do more of the work.

• Dunstlow Athletic had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The match’s numbers describe a result built less on territorial dominance than on converting attacks into goals. Baston Town had only two corners to Dunstlow Athletic’s five, and the possession figures were nearly level, but the hosts produced more than twice as many shots and made four of them count. The visitors’ six shots on target and 1.62 xG show that they found routes to threaten; their challenge was that those openings yielded only Pedro Chagas’s goal.

After Phillip Lewis opened the scoring, Michael Brown and Alessandro Gallo extended the lead before the break in the scoring sequence, and Baston Town restored a two-goal cushion soon after Pedro Chagas scored. The fourth goal, from Zdravko Ivanišević in the 89th minute, settled the final score at 4-1. Baston Town finished with a convincing margin, while Dunstlow Athletic had enough attacking threat to avoid being reduced to spectators. Their six shots on target simply received less return than the hosts’ 13.
