Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sith Park scored five from an xG of 3.99, exceeding its chance-quality estimate by just over a goal. Alshbury scored twice from 1.09 xG, also finishing above expectation, though its six shots and three on target left less room for that efficiency to change the outcome. The hosts’ 15 shots on target tell the central tactical story: despite having 48% possession, Sith Park created and tested the opposition far more often. Alshbury completed a greater share of its passes and attempted more dribbles, but those advantages did not produce comparable volume in front of goal. Both sides were clinical relative to their xG; Sith Park simply kept asking the question, and Peter Martin supplied three of the answers.

The two goals from Brian Martin ensured Alshbury remained a live threat after the break, with his second arriving seven minutes after Peter Martin had restored the hosts’ lead. But Sith Park answered that setback with two more goals of its own, first through Peter Martin again and then through Mansik Koo in the 90th minute. That late finish made the margin three and completed a scoreline that matched the home side’s advantage in shots, shots on target and tackles, even if the possession figures leaned the other way. Alshbury had more of the ball; Sith Park made much more of its time with it.
