Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Cheston County scored five from 4.53 xG, a modest over-performance that fits a side which made its chances count without needing an implausible finishing spree. Godbury Villa registered 0.51 xG and no goals, a small under-performance, but the more telling gap was in the volume of chances: two shots against 21, with only two corners apiece. Cheston County’s 16 efforts on target underline how regularly it tested the hosts, while the 53-47 possession split suggests the visitors’ advantage was not simply a matter of holding the ball. Five goals from five different moments of the match, and a first before the fourth minute was complete, left Godbury Villa with little room to reset the contest.

No Godbury Villa players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The second-half goals ensured the visitors’ three-goal lead at the break was not the final word. Godbury Villa’s two shots both found the target, but the side could not turn either into a goal, while Cheston County kept adding to its total. The hosts also committed 12 fouls to the visitors’ seven; that difference did not decide the match on its own, but it sits alongside the shot count as another sign of how much defensive work Godbury Villa had to do. Cheston County’s five goals matched the broad shape of its 4.53 xG, and its 5-0 win was emphatic rather than dependent on one narrow statistical quirk.
