Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The scoreline was emphatic even beside a substantial chance-quality advantage: Shamwort Park scored six from 3.4 xG, while Alreachlant recorded 0.26 xG and no goals. That puts the hosts well above the estimate, converting chances at a rate the model would not ordinarily expect to see repeated. Their 14 shots, 13 on target, show that the finishing was backed by a steady supply of attempts requiring attention. Alreachlant managed just one shot, which was on target, leaving little attacking volume from which to build a reply. The visitors held 53 per cent possession, but the figures suggest that control of the ball was not control of the danger.

• No Alreachlant players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

Shamwort Park established the advantage with goals in the 11th and 17th minutes, both created by Matthew King. That early pair gave the match its shape: Alreachlant still had more possession, but the hosts were the side turning attacks into shots and shots into goals. After the break, Eduardo Cruz scored in the 56th minute, and Pedro Santos followed four minutes later. Matthew King then joined the scorers, before Eduardo Cruz completed the six-goal tally in the 87th minute.

The discipline stayed comparatively ordinary for a match with such an unordinary score: three yellow cards, two for Shamwort Park and one for Alreachlant, with no red cards. The teams were level on fouls, and their pass accuracy was close, so the gap was not explained by a gulf in those figures. It came down to the part of the game the numbers make hardest to disguise: Shamwort Park repeatedly reached the target, while Alreachlant produced only one attempt. At 6-0, the hosts had made a more convincing case than possession alone could manage.
