Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wichury Athletic recorded 3.67 xG to Hampton County’s 2.09, yet the score finished 1-3. The hosts therefore fell well short of the return their chance quality suggested, while Hampton County converted more modest expected output into three goals. Wichury Athletic also had 17 shots, 13 on target, and 53% possession, so this was not a case of the hosts failing to reach attacking positions. Rather, the difference was conversion: Hampton County made its opportunities count, while Wichury Athletic’s greater volume and estimated quality yielded only Allan Carroll’s 51st-minute goal. Hampton County’s eight corners and ten tackles, against six and six respectively for Wichury Athletic, offer a picture of a side that had to defend and compete, then found enough efficiency to keep the visitors’ scoreboard advantage intact.

Wichury Athletic: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher. Hampton County: Luis Pinto (7.3) - Scored once and assisted Friedrich Unger’s goal, contributing directly to two of Hampton County’s three.

The early goals shaped the contest without making the final margin a simple measure of control. Hampton County struck first through Israel Morales and doubled its lead six minutes later through Luis Pinto; Michael Brown was booked a minute after that second goal. Wichury Athletic responded after the break, with Allan Carroll finishing a move assisted by Brown, but Friedrich Unger’s goal in the 75th minute restored the two-goal cushion. The hosts had the more generous xG figure, but Hampton County’s three finishes settled the result. A 1-3 win, then, built less on dominating the chance ledger than on making sure the actual one kept the better records.
