Expected Goals (xG) Analysis
The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Todmough Stanley 4.6 xG and Pooking 0.36. The nine goals from the hosts were a remarkable 4.4 above their estimate: they created plenty, with 17 of 20 attempts on target, then finished at a rate their chances alone would not predict. That is not merely a small finishing bonus; it is the difference between a strong attacking display and a nine-goal afternoon. Pooking scored once from a single shot on target, also outperforming its estimate, though with far less room for the numbers to become dramatic.
The possession split and passing figures offered little warning of the scale of the result. Pooking had 52% of the ball and 87% pass accuracy, but managed only one attempt; Todmough Stanley had less possession and still produced 20 shots, eight dribbles and eight tackles. The hosts were more direct in turning their spells into chances, while Pooking’s tidy passing did not translate into sustained threat. After Michel Lemoine made it 1-1 in the 15th minute, Heinz Pfeiffer scored twice before the break and the hosts’ attack continued to find openings after half-time.
There was no close finish to rescue from the closing stages: Todmough Stanley added three more goals after the 58th minute, with Pfeiffer completing his five-goal return at 90'. The 9-1 scoreline was emphatic, and the gap between the teams’ shot totals helps explain why. The gap between the score and the hosts’ xG, meanwhile, says their finishing was unusually ruthless even by the standards of a comfortable win.
