Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Harnellinch scored once from 0.89 xG, a modest return just above the chance-quality estimate. Kemough Town, by contrast, put seven past the hosts from 4.25 xG, substantially outperforming the model by 2.75 goals. That finishing was exceptional, but the shot count gives the result a sturdy foundation: Kemough Town had 18 attempts and 16 on target, while Harnellinch managed four, with three testing the goalkeeper. Possession favoured Harnellinch at 54 per cent, yet the visitors made far more of their attacks; the ball was not obliged to reward the side that kept it longest.

For Harnellinch, Alejandro Hernandez’s 72nd-minute goal, assisted by Georgi Angelov, offered a response after the damage was done, but the match had already tilted beyond recovery. The visitors scored twice before the break, then produced five more goals in a 13-minute burst after half-time. That sequence turned a difficult deficit into a rout, with Kemough Town finding the net through several different routes and scorers. The three Harnellinch yellow cards and 13 fouls sit alongside just four fouls for the visitors, a contrast that hints at how often the hosts were forced into stopping attacks rather than building their own.

Alejandro Hernandez (Harnellinch) - No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher. Brett Bond (8.1) - Scored twice and assisted once in a decisive attacking display. Barry Edwards (7.8) - Scored once and supplied two assists, including both for Manuel Alvarenga. Manuel Alvarenga (7.6) - Took his two goals with the calm efficiency the afternoon demanded. Haruna Olaleye (7.3) - Scored once and assisted Brett Bond, contributing at both ends of the visitors’ scoring sequence.
