Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Mallingath at 1.28 xG and Ashinhippill at 3.63. The actual score, 1-3, therefore saw Mallingath finish a little below its estimate and Ashinhippill below theirs, despite the visitors scoring three times. That gap is not a contradiction so much as a reminder that even a very productive afternoon can leave chances unconverted. Ashinhippill had 18 shots, with 12 on target, against Mallingath’s five shots, all five on target. The visitors’ higher volume and much stronger chance quality make their win a fair reflection of the attacking balance; Mallingath’s perfect on-target count was efficient, but it could not compensate for the disparity in opportunities.

There was a brief opening for Mallingath after Vladimir štimac made it 1-2 in the 69th minute, assisted by Luca Colombo. It lasted three minutes before Jeremias Silva restored the two-goal margin. That sequence gave the home side a response, but not enough time or attacking volume to turn it into a sustained change of direction. Ashinhippill had already built its lead through Jose Herrera and Jorge Andrade, and its final goal answered the only spell in which the score had become close.

The possession figures offered Mallingath a small consolation, at 53% to 47%, but possession came with only five attempts. Ashinhippill managed 18 shots while holding less of the ball, a useful illustration of how possession and control are related but not identical pieces of paperwork. Both sides earned four corners; Ashinhippill also made more tackles, 10 to six. Its two yellow cards added a little disorder to an otherwise effective afternoon, while Mallingath finished without a booking. The visitors’ clearest advantage, however, remained the one that mattered most: they repeatedly turned attacking situations into shots, and three of those became goals.

Mallingath: No players reached a rating of 7.0.
