Filleigh Park 1 - 7 Paddley Town

Paddley Town’s 7-1 win was built on a striking gap between the sides’ chance production: the visitors recorded 4.05 xG to Filleigh Park’s 0.49. Seven goals from 4.05 xG means Paddley Town substantially outperformed the quality estimate, while Filleigh Park’s single goal also came above its expected return. That finishing difference was decisive, though the volume behind it matters: Paddley Town had 16 shots, all on target, against three shots and one on target for the hosts. The 45 per cent possession figure did not prevent the visitors from repeatedly getting attempts away; Filleigh Park’s 55 per cent, eight corners and 13 dribbles brought activity, but little scoring threat by comparison.

The sequence made the scale of the task plain early. Jonghun Ji opened the scoring in the ninth minute, and Hernan Aguilera struck twice before the break to make it 3-0. Xinping Boon gave Filleigh Park a goal in the 53rd minute, but Paddley Town answered three minutes later and added three more after that. A seven-goal margin is not a close contest with an unfortunate ending; it is a match in which the visitors converted their pressure into a result that the hosts’ possession and corners could not meaningfully contest.
