Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Draven Rovers recorded 4.13 xG and scored four, a near-exact match between the quality of their chances and the scoreboard. Saffhale City managed 0.89 xG and scored once, making the most of a much smaller attacking return. The shot count gives the tactical shape some sturdy edges: Draven Rovers had 20 attempts, 14 on target, against four attempts and three on target for Saffhale City. The visitors had more possession and slightly higher pass accuracy, but control of the ball did not translate into a comparable supply of chances. Draven Rovers were more direct in the useful sense: they turned their opportunities into goals, and did so often enough to make possession percentages look like polite paperwork.

No Saffhale City player reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was built early, with Ruben Kristensen opening the scoring in the fourth minute and Ryan Moreno adding two more before the break. Moreno completed his hat-trick in the 69th minute, restoring the four-goal margin just after Saffhale City had been shown a yellow card. The visitors’ late goal, assisted by David Shaw, made the final score 4-1; it did not change the broader picture of a match in which Draven Rovers created and finished far more. The hosts’ 13 tackles to Saffhale City’s three also point to a more active defensive effort, though their 14 fouls and two yellow cards show that activity occasionally came with a receipt. Saffhale City had the ball more often; Draven Rovers had the afternoon.
