Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Chop's Har scored eight from an xG of 4.75, exceeding the chance-quality estimate by 3.25 goals. That is substantial over-performance, though 18 shots on target from 20 attempts shows this was not merely a case of a few fortunate strikes finding their way in. Marn Albion finished with 0.01 xG and no shots, a near-zero estimate that reflects how little threat they produced. Possession was 53%-47%, so the gulf was not expressed through the ball share; it was expressed in what happened when Chop's Har attacked and in the absence of a response at the other end.

No Marn Albion players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was settled early and then enlarged: Chop's Har led 2-0 after 11 minutes, scored twice more in the space of two minutes, and reached half-time five goals ahead. The second-half goals from Bruce Stephens and Hosung Ryu took the tally to seven before the match’s final scoring event was followed by a card in the 90th minute. Four yellow cards for the winners and two for Marn Albion were part of a match that also recorded nine fouls apiece, a small statistical island of balance in a very large sea of goals.

For Chop's Har, the performance combined efficiency with a steady supply of attempts: 20 shots, 18 on target and eight goals. The 8-0 result is wider than the xG figures alone would predict, but the volume and accuracy of the shooting help explain why the margin became so emphatic. Marn Albion had comparable possession and matching totals for fouls, dribbles and tackles, yet recorded no shots at all. The final score is therefore not a close reading of the possession numbers; it is a clear account of the difference in attacking impact.
