Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Spath Hels scored twice from 2.43 xG, while Trouth Town scored three from 2.58. Both sides finished slightly below their chance-quality estimates, so the difference was not a dramatic overperformance in front of goal; it was the one extra goal in a match where the underlying opportunities were close. The hosts had 56% possession, 12 shots and seven corners, compared with the visitors’ 44% possession, 12 shots and two corners. Spath Hels did more of the circulating and corner-taking, but Trouth Town put nine shots on target to the hosts’ eight. That small edge, followed by Chagas scoring twice between the 65th and 67th minutes, proved more useful than possession in the abstract.

• Spath Hels recorded no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Pedro Chagas (7.3) - Scored twice to turn Trouth Town’s deficit into a lead, though his evening also included a yellow card.

The scoreline settled a close match without making the sides’ broader performances look worlds apart. Spath Hels had the possession, corners and slightly better pass accuracy; Trouth Town had more shots on target and, crucially, the goals that followed. The visitors also committed 17 fouls and collected all four yellow cards, a busier disciplinary ledger than the hosts’ seven fouls and no bookings. Yet they left with the 2–3 win, while Spath Hels were left with a respectable share of the numbers and none of the final arithmetic.
