Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stonfield scored seven from 4.69 xG, outperforming the chance-quality estimate by 2.31 goals. That is a substantial return, though the underlying volume was imposing in its own right: 21 attempts, 17 on target, and six goals arriving after the interval. Magham City recorded 0.26 xG from a single shot, which was on target, but did not convert it. The possession figures tell a mildly misleading story: Magham City had 52% of the ball to Stonfield’s 48%, yet the hosts produced almost all the attacking threat. Five corners for the visitors against two for Stonfield offered no counterweight to that disparity. The match’s central tactical fact is therefore plain enough: possession and corners accumulated, while shots on target and goals belonged overwhelmingly to one side.

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

The scoreline was built in two stages: Luis Beltran opened the account at 34', then Chris Ward scored on the stroke of half-time and again three minutes later. After Beltran made it four on the hour, Abraham Suazo and Ward added further goals before Ricardo Gonzalez completed the scoring at 77'. The three yellow cards all went to Stonfield, an untidy footnote to a match whose attacking arithmetic was otherwise remarkably tidy.

For Stonfield, the result combined ruthless finishing with the more substantial evidence of 17 shots on target and an xG advantage of 4.43. The seven goals exceeded the estimate, but they did not arrive from a handful of lucky breaks: Stonfield repeatedly put the ball in positions from which a goalkeeper had to do something about it. Magham City did have the greater share of possession and more corners, and recorded more dribbles, but managed only one attempt. In a 7-0 match, those figures are less a consolation than a useful account of how little the visitors turned their activity into danger.
