Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Chirker 3.94 xG and Cherth Rovers 1.86. The hosts scored five, finishing 1.06 above their estimate; the visitors scored none despite an xG figure that suggests their chances were not negligible. That gap between opportunity and outcome is the match’s central contrast: Cherth Rovers held 52% possession and won nine corners, but Chirker registered 18 shots, 14 on target, and converted five times. The hosts’ 48% possession was enough to produce a substantial volume of attempts, while the visitors’ seven shots on target went unrewarded. Chirker were more clinical than the estimate expected, and their late four-goal surge made an already clear win emphatic.

• Chirker
• Alan Molina (8.1) - Scored twice and assisted Luis Alves for the fifth, making a direct contribution to three goals.
• Senad Zekić (7.0) - Supplied the assists for Oscar Sanchez and one of Alan Molina’s goals.
• Cherth Rovers
• No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The five-goal margin should not obscure the shape of the contest before the final stretch. Chirker took the lead in the fifth minute through Redžo Nuhanović, assisted by Agustin Rodriguez, then waited until the 68th minute to add to it. Once Oscar Sanchez scored from Senad Zekić’s pass, the scoring accelerated: Alan Molina struck in the 74th and 77th minutes, and Luis Alves completed the tally in the 90th, assisted by Molina. Cherth Rovers had the possession and corner advantage, but neither measure altered the score. With five goals, a pair of assists from Senad Zekić, and Molina involved in three goals, Chirker made the most of its decisive attacking moments; Cherth Rovers left with the less useful distinction of having had the ball more often.
