Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Couth City recorded 1.82 xG and scored once, a modest shortfall against the chances’ estimated quality. Key Stre produced 2.53 xG and scored three, converting above expectation; with 13 shots and eight on target, the visitors created the greater volume of threat as well as the sharper end product. The possession figures tell a different, less decisive story: Couth City had 55% of the ball, but control of it did not translate into control of the scoreline. Key Stre were more direct in the numbers that matter here, winning six corners to two and building a three-goal cushion before the hosts’ reply.

• Couth City: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Key Stre:
• Phillip Johnson (8.4) - Scored all three of Key Stre’s goals, turning the visitors’ advantage in chances into the match’s defining contribution.

The sequence of goals gave Key Stre the cushion that Couth City could not undo. Johnson scored in the 25th minute, added another in the 36th, then completed his three-goal haul at 45'; the ledger records no assist on the latter two, and the score did not require decorative accounting. Lewis and Mendoza combined for Couth City’s goal in the 76th minute, but it arrived after the visitors had already established the margin. The hosts’ greater share of the ball, higher dribble count and better pass accuracy were real advantages, just not the ones that decided this match. With six yellow cards shared evenly and no red cards, the afternoon’s discipline ledger was busy without changing the arithmetic. Key Stre left with a 3-1 win, built on more shots, more chances and one unusually complete afternoon from Johnson.
