Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Fainstbort’s 3.68 xG sat close to its four goals, a return consistent with the volume and quality of chances reflected in 17 shots, 13 on target. Bogayley scored once from 0.89 xG, a little above its chance-quality estimate, but had only four attempts in total. Its 54% possession and seven corners did not translate into sustained shooting output. Fainstbort, meanwhile, managed the more direct threat despite having less of the ball. After conceding in the seventh minute, the hosts levelled before half-time and then scored three more times, with the numbers pointing to a side that made its possession count more efficiently.

Bogayley’s early lead made the task clear, but Fainstbort’s response was measured rather than hurried: the equaliser arrived before the break, and the next two goals widened the gap after half-time. Thomas’s second, assisted by Santos, left the visitors needing a late change in momentum; Jones’s goal at 86 minutes instead made the final score 4 - 1. The match’s shape was a useful reminder that possession can be the setting for a game without becoming its plot. Bogayley had more of the ball, while Fainstbort created far more shots on target and finished with a three-goal margin.
