Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Cowling Albion scored four from an xG of 2.64, exceeding the chance-quality estimate by 1.36 goals. That is a substantial return, though the visitors’ eleven shots and ten on target suggest this was not merely a case of a ball taking an unusual interest in the net. Louttle finished with no goals from 0.11 xG; with only one shot, the hosts created very little for the estimate to measure. Their 60% possession and eight corners offered territory and set-piece opportunities, but the zero shots on target show how little of that activity became a direct threat. Cowling Albion, by contrast, were more economical with the ball and far more purposeful when they had it.

The first goal arrived in the eighth minute, giving Cowling Albion an early lead after Phillip Lewis had been booked a minute earlier. Robert Visser added a second before half-time, with Myungjun Roh supplying the assist. The scoreline then moved from uncomfortable to emphatic after the interval: Carlo Vacca scored in the 53rd and again in the 65th. The simultaneous booking of Allan Carroll and Michael Brown at 53 minutes made for a busy minute in Louttle’s afternoon, though not the sort of activity that improves a side’s attacking numbers.

Louttle: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Cowling Albion:

• Carlo Vacca (7.6) - Scored twice, turning Cowling Albion’s lead into a convincing four-goal margin.

The statistics underline the difference between possession and control of the match. Louttle completed more passes accurately and attempted more dribbles, while Cowling Albion made more tackles and converted their attacking entries into shots on target. Five yellow cards for the hosts, against none for the visitors, added another lopsided column without changing the central point: Cowling Albion were the side that repeatedly made possession count. The 0 - 4 result was not a narrow escape or a tactical stalemate; it was a decisive away win, built on early scoring and finished with two goals from Vacca.
