Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Kirkeham scored six from an xG of 2.76, substantially exceeding the chance-quality estimate. That points to unusually clinical finishing on top of a strong attacking return: ten of their 12 shots were on target, and the early goals gave them room to keep pressing the advantage. Soham City finished with an xG of 0.01 and no shots, despite holding 58% possession and winning nine corners. Those figures tell a clear tactical story: the visitors had the ball and set pieces, but could not turn either into a genuine attempt, while Kirkeham made its opportunities count with striking efficiency.

No Soham City player reached a rating of 7.0.

The final 6-0 score was built chiefly in the first half, when Kirkeham scored five times and took control of the match long before the final whistle could make the matter official. Soham City kept a greater share of possession and earned plenty of corners, but without a shot those advantages remained administrative rather than threatening. Kirkeham, meanwhile, converted a modest xG into a large margin, then added Taewoo Yang’s goal after the break. The late cards gave the closing stages a little paperwork; the contest itself had been settled much earlier.
