Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Plyn an Wanderers scored 13 from 5.12 xG, an overperformance of 7.88 goals; Soughborn scored none from 0.01 xG. That gap points to extraordinary conversion from the hosts, not merely a stream of chances that the estimate expected to become goals. The shot count was 22 to zero, with 19 of the hosts’ efforts on target, while possession was much closer at 52% to 48% and corners were 8 to 7. The contrast suggests Plyn an Wanderers made far more of their attacks, while Soughborn did not turn their share of the ball or set pieces into a shot. The xG figure is a measure of chance quality, not a ceiling, though this particular scoreboard treated it more as a polite suggestion.

No Soughborn players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher in the recorded standout performers. That does not erase the effort required to keep going through a match that had become lopsided early; it does mark how little the visitors managed to change its direction. Plyn an Wanderers had eight goals by half-time and added five more after the interval, so the second half offered no recovery in the scoreline, only further evidence of the hosts’ finishing. The near-even possession and corner totals make the final margin all the more striking: control of the ball was not the same as control of the chances. For Plyn an Wanderers, the result was a remarkable combination of volume and ruthless conversion; for Soughborn, the zero in the shots column is the plainest account of a very difficult afternoon.
