Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Rayth City scored six from 3.1 xG, outperforming the chance-quality estimate by 2.9 goals. Westable County scored five from 3.79 xG, also finishing above its estimate, by 1.21. The visitors created the higher xG and led the shot count 18-14, with 13 shots on target to the hosts’ 11, but Rayth City turned fewer attempts into more goals. That difference in finishing decided a match in which neither side lacked routes to the net; the defensive departments were left to make their case another day.
The possession figures were close, with Westable County on 52% and Rayth City on 48%, while pass accuracy was similarly level at 83% and 82%. Rayth City recorded more dribbles, 11 to eight, and Westable County made more tackles, eight to five. Those numbers fit a contest of frequent attacking exchanges, though they cannot quite explain how five goals each arrived before the hosts edged the total. The six-goal haul was enough for Rayth City to take the points, despite the visitors’ slight advantage in possession and chance quality.
