Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Willey Town scored five from 2.51 xG, substantially outperforming the chance-quality estimate; Earkippe managed two from 0.83 xG and likewise converted more than the estimate suggested. The figures point to unusually effective finishing on both sides, though the volume of opportunities was not equal: Willey Town had 11 shots, nine on target, while Earkippe put all three of its attempts on target. With 57% possession, the hosts had more of the ball and more attempts, but the visitors made their limited chances count early. The response was immediate after the second goal, and Willey Town then found three more goals after the break. Five goals from 2.51 xG is not a routine return; the hosts were especially clinical with the chances they created.

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

The final 5-2 score reflects both the hosts’ attacking output and the sharp turn in the match after Earkippe had moved two goals ahead. Willey Town scored within a minute of conceding the second, then drew level before half-time and went in front just after the restart. The later goals from Colin Todd and Kenny Au made the margin emphatic. Earkippe had been efficient enough to take its opportunities, but three shots left little room to answer once the hosts’ finishing kept landing. The match’s arithmetic was unusually generous to both attacks; its outcome was settled by Willey Town producing more of it.
