Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Crostenton scored once from an xG of 0.41, finishing 0.59 goals above the chance-quality estimate. Holburne City turned an xG of 4.53 into five goals, a modest overperformance of 0.47. The larger distinction was volume and pressure: Holburne City had 21 shots, 16 on target, while Crostenton managed two attempts and one on target. The visitors’ five goals were not an improbable haul assembled from a handful of chances; their shot count and xG point to sustained attacking threat. Crostenton made its limited opportunity count, but one goal could not offset that imbalance.

• No Crostenton players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early exchange briefly offered a different shape to the afternoon: Crostenton levelled four minutes after Marko Crnković opened the scoring. But Pedro Abreu restored Holburne City’s lead three minutes later, and Dagoberto Gomez made it 3-1 before half-time. After the break, Marko Crnković scored again and Segundo Perez completed the scoring in the 85th minute. The sequence was a useful reminder that an equaliser can change the score without changing the wider balance of a match.

For Crostenton, Daniel Hoffman’s goal was a meaningful response, and the side also recorded more tackles than its opponent. Yet the two-shot total left little room to build on that moment. Holburne City, meanwhile, combined a five-goal return with clear advantages in shots, shots on target, possession and pass accuracy. The final 5-1 reflects both the finishing and the volume behind it: a decisive win, with the visitors’ attacking work continuing long after the brief contest over parity had ended.
