Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Brough City scored five from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.74 xG, outperforming the expected return by 1.26 goals. That is a notably sharp finish, supported by 16 shots and 14 on target rather than a small number of lucky attempts. Tadington Stanley recorded 0.26 xG from one shot, which was also their sole effort on target. The five-goal margin therefore reflected both Brough City’s considerable advantage in creating chances and their ability to convert them; the visitors had little attacking volume from which to build a response. Possession was nearly even, but the meaningful territory, in the form of shots, belonged overwhelmingly to the hosts.

• No Tadington Stanley players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was shaped by a game that looked more even in possession than it was in its decisive work. Tadington Stanley edged pass accuracy and made 11 tackles to Brough City’s five, but those numbers did not translate into chances: one shot and 0.26 xG left no substantial attacking pressure on the hosts. Brough City, by contrast, put almost all of their 16 attempts on target and spread the scoring across the second half, with Hodgson adding two late goals after Agenor Soares and Miguel Boyer had widened the lead. At 5-0, the final margin was emphatic; the two late strikes made sure there was no ambiguity left for the scoreboard to resolve.
