Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The 2-3 scoreline was close; the chance totals were less so. Staftel Wanderers finished with 1.39 xG and two goals, an over-performance against the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. Brousham produced 3.28 xG and scored three, a return broadly in keeping with the opportunities they created. The visitors had 16 shots, 11 on target, to the hosts’ six shots and five on target. That gap suggests Brousham found more ways to threaten, while Staftel Wanderers made a high proportion of their fewer attempts count. The hosts also held 58% possession and completed 85% of passes, but the visitors’ greater shot volume and 15 tackles to eight point to a contest in which control of the ball did not translate into control of the scoreboard.

For Staftel Wanderers, the 14th-minute opener and the 82nd-minute reply showed that the hosts could make their chances matter. But the second response left little time to turn the game around, and Robert Marshall settled it for Brousham four minutes later. The visitors’ two early bookings did not become a numerical disadvantage—neither side received a red card—and their attacking work kept finding the target.

The final score, Staftel Wanderers 2-3 Brousham, records a narrow win, not a comfortable one. The underlying figures explain why Brousham had the stronger case: considerably more attempts and a higher xG, despite less possession. Staftel Wanderers made the finish tense with two goals from six shots, but Brousham created enough to survive the late unease and leave with the points.
