Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Stallith 2.02 xG against one goal, an underperformance of 1.02, while Ington County scored five from 4.19 xG, beating the estimate by 0.81. That makes the finishing difference real, but the wider pattern was not a sudden statistical mirage: Ington County had 19 shots and 15 on target, compared with eight and eight for Stallith. Possession was exactly 50-50, yet the visitors generated more than twice as many attempts and repeatedly made those attacks count. Stallith did get a goal shortly after the interval through David Lewis, assisted by Keita Makino, but Colin Marshall restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion four minutes later. The goals from Enzo Saita and Victor Ajayi then carried the margin to four. On the figures, Ington County’s advantage was built less on having the ball more and more on making its time with it substantially more dangerous.

• No Stallith players reached a rating of 7.0.

For Stallith, the eight shots on target offered a foothold in the match, but not the conversion needed to make it count. Ington County matched the hosts’ possession, edged their pass accuracy by a percentage point and still created a far heavier volume of attempts; its 15 shots on target gave the attack repeated chances to settle matters. The early bookings for Ben Davies and Ove Balle did not prevent the visitors from striking twice in the opening 13 minutes, while Stallith’s reply after the break was answered promptly. At 1-5, the final score accurately reflects a match in which Ington County took control of the most decisive measure: the number of dangerous attacks it turned into goals.
