Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

Mard Norood scored four from 4.28 xG, a slight underperformance of 0.28 against the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. Wesham Rovers scored once from 2.37 xG, leaving a larger gap of 1.37 between their expected and actual goals. That difference helps explain how a match with chances at both ends became a three-goal victory: Mard Norood converted more often, while the visitors’ nine shots on target yielded only one goal. The hosts also had more of the ball, more shots and five corners to their opponents’ one, giving their attack a steadier supply of opportunities.

The decisive spell came between minutes 22 and 28. Luis Pinto struck twice for Mard Norood, and Michel Lemoine replied for Wesham Rovers before the opening half-hour had passed. The reply kept the contest alive, but it did not change the underlying pattern: Mard Norood had the greater volume of attack and later restored its two-goal cushion through Israel Morales. Lindomar Da Silva added the fourth in the 82nd minute, turning a strong result into a clear one. With the final score 4-1, the hosts’ advantage was earned, even if the xG suggests Wesham Rovers had grounds to expect more from their forward work.

No Wesham Rovers players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.
