Walch Wanderers 5 - 0 Bares Wanderers

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Walch Wanderers at 4.53 xG and Bares Wanderers at 1.96. Five goals from 4.53 xG is a modest over-performance, while Bares Wanderers scored none despite creating chances worth nearly two expected goals. The shot totals help explain the difference: Walch Wanderers put 16 of 21 attempts on target, compared with five of 12 for the visitors. Four goals arrived by the 31st minute, giving the hosts a commanding platform; the fifth came after the break, while the visitors’ possession and passing accuracy never translated into a goal.

The scoreline was emphatic, though the underlying figures suggest more than a simple story of one side having the ball and the other chasing it. Bares Wanderers edged possession 51% to 49%, won one more corner and completed more of their passes, but Walch Wanderers were considerably more precise in front of goal and made their pressure count. Six yellow cards for Bares Wanderers, against one for Walch Wanderers, added a less helpful kind of activity to the visitors’ afternoon. The five-goal margin was not a statistical impossibility; it was the sharpest version of a match in which the hosts repeatedly found the finish and the visitors did not.
