Cham Cord 1 - 4 Sketforth

Cham Cord led early, but Sketforth turned a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 win with three goals in the closing minutes of the first half and another late in the second. The scoreline was emphatic; the chance-quality figures, less so, leaving the match with the unusual distinction of being decided by a side that recorded slightly lower xG.

No Cham Cord players reached a rating of 7.0.

The decisive spell came just before the interval: Ousmane Sylla put Sketforth ahead in the 42nd minute, and Pedro Guzman added another two minutes later. That rapid shift made Cham Cord’s early lead feel distant long before the match was finished. Lindomar Da Silva’s 83rd-minute goal then confirmed the result, with the visitors taking a 4-1 victory despite being outscored by their xG estimate’s more modest expectation. Cham Cord had the shots and corners to make the contest closer; Sketforth had the finishing, and in football the latter tends to be the more persuasive document.
