Ambord United 0 - 4 Tadenlow

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Tadenlow at 3.58 xG and Ambord United at 0.51. Tadenlow therefore scored four from chances valued at a little over three and a half goals: a modest over-performance, but one supported by 13 shots on target. Ambord United’s two attempts were both on target, yet their 0.51 xG suggests neither carried especially great scoring probability. The hosts had more of the ball, 52 per cent to 48, and won nine corners to Tadenlow’s four; those measures did not translate into enough dangerous chances to alter the score. Tadenlow, meanwhile, were efficient in turning a much larger volume of attacking opportunities into a decisive result.

The opening goal arrived after three minutes, giving Tadenlow an early lead to build on. Guseinov struck again in the 33rd minute, assisted by Mamadou Yao, and Mathieu Martin and Michael George added goals after the break. The three yellow cards for Tadenlow brought a little disciplinary clutter, but did not change the shape of a match in which the visitors repeatedly found ways to test the goal. Ambord United had the ball and the corners; Tadenlow had the shots, the goals and, by the end, the four-goal margin.
