Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Staidge Vale scored four goals from 4.08 xG, a near-exact return on the chances created, falling short of the estimate by just 0.08. Seadle’s 1.06 xG yielded no goals, so the visitors finished below their chance-quality figure while the hosts converted at a rate that matched the quality of their opportunities. The shot count helps explain the difference: Staidge Vale had 18 attempts and 15 on target, against Seadle’s six attempts and three on target. With 57% possession and 82% pass accuracy, the hosts had more of the ball and made it count; the visitors’ nine tackles, one more than Staidge Vale, could not turn that effort into a goal.
- Seadle had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
The opening stages supplied both sides with a booking before Matthews put Staidge Vale ahead in the ninth minute. His second came seven minutes later, assisted by Ali Farahat, giving the hosts a two-goal lead before the half-hour mark. Bruno Rossi was booked before the break; after it, he turned provider for Matthews’s third. Pedro Rubio added the fourth six minutes later, and Lindomar Da Silva received the final booking in the 71st minute. Staidge Vale’s four goals and Seadle’s blank leave little room for dispute over the result, while the xG figures suggest the margin was earned through chances rather than an unlikely finishing spree.
