Expected Goals (xG) Analysis:

Hithbrours scored six from an xG of 3.79, outperforming the chance-quality estimate by 2.21 goals. That is a sizeable return above expectation, though the 18 shots and 13 on target show the goals were backed by a steady supply of attempts rather than appearing from nowhere. Cashamslan recorded 0.51 xG from just two shots, both on target: enough to register a little threat, but not enough to trouble the scoreboard. Possession was nearly even at 51–49, yet the shot totals tell a more lopsided story. Hithbrours made more of their opportunities and repeatedly put the visitors under pressure; the possession figures, politely, declined to make a fuss about it.

• No Cashamslan players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early sequence of three Hithbrours yellow cards gave the opening stretch a more disciplinary tone than the eventual score might suggest. But once Rohan Robertson opened the scoring in the 28th minute, Hithbrours added two more before the break and three after it. Salih Kurtović had Hassan Shaibu to thank for the assist on the second; the remaining goals came without recorded assists, except for Rohan Robertson’s setup of Niko Josipović in the 79th minute. Cashamslan kept possession close, but two shots against 18 is a difficult imbalance to decorate.
