Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Salnetton scored seven from 4.99 xG, finishing 2.01 goals above the chance-quality estimate. Marksham scored once from 1.27 xG, a modest underperformance of 0.27. The gap between the sides’ xG was 3.72, already a substantial measure of Salnetton’s attacking advantage; the final six-goal margin reflects both that advantage and unusually clinical finishing. The shot count supports the broader picture: Salnetton had 24 attempts and 17 on target, compared with Marksham’s eight attempts and three on target. Possession was less lopsided, at 55% to 45%, but Salnetton made its share count with far more frequent, accurate attempts.

• Marksham: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The second-half sequence was decisive: Xinping Boon restored Salnetton’s lead three minutes after the interval, then Aurelio Pinto and Vladimir štimac scored in consecutive minutes to widen it. Marksham had more corners and made nine tackles, but those figures could not compensate for the difference in shots on target or the home side’s finishing. Salnetton added three more goals from the 83rd minute onward, completing a 7-1 victory that its chance volume strongly foreshadowed, even if the finishing went well beyond the xG forecast.
