Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Bridge scored seven from an xG of 4.84, outperforming the chance-quality estimate by 2.16 goals. That points to unusually clinical finishing on top of an already productive attack: 18 of their 21 shots were on target, and the goals arrived in a steady run rather than from one isolated burst. Walton, by contrast, finished with 0.01 xG and no shots, a return that leaves little evidence of a route back into the match. Bridge had 56% possession, but the more telling measure was the complete absence of Walton attempts; the visitors’ 12 dribbles did not translate into a shot. The seven-goal margin therefore reflected both Bridge’s finishing and their control of the most important attacking territory.

• No Walton players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For Bridge, the result was not merely a matter of taking a few chances well: the side put 18 efforts on target and spread the scoring across four players. Kone Kramo and Zdravko Sarajlić supplied the headline numbers, while Igor Grgurić contributed at both ends of the scoring ledger. Walton had more dribbles than Bridge, but no shots to show for them, a rather stark illustration of the difference between carrying the ball and troubling the opposition. Bridge’s 7-0 win was comprehensive in the scoreline and in the underlying shot count, with the xG gap adding a useful measure of just how little Walton could build in attack.
