Expected Goals (xG) Analysis:

Hesby City scored eight from an xG of 5.19, finishing 2.81 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That points to exceptional execution on top of a substantial attacking haul: 19 of their 23 shots were on target. Preweston recorded 0.26 xG from one shot on target, so the 0 in the final score reflects a limited threat rather than a catalogue of missed chances. The possession figures, 48% to 52%, and corner count, 1 to 9, show that Preweston had spells and set-piece opportunities, but those measures did not translate into shots or goals. Hesby City made the decisive difference in the moments that mattered, and did so repeatedly.

The scoreline was emphatic, but the shape of the match was not simply a matter of Hesby City monopolising the ball. Preweston edged possession, corners and dribbles, yet managed only one shot; the hosts turned their far greater volume of attempts into a procession of goals. The early run of six goals by the 36th minute made the contest one-sided well before the break, while further strikes from Ifeanyi Bassey and Bruno Riva carried the final tally to eight. For Hesby City, the result combined relentless finishing with a defence that gave away almost nothing in front of goal. For Preweston, the nine corners are a statistic with an unusually long walk back to the dressing room.
