Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Waleston Albion recorded 4.13 xG and scored five, an over-performance of 0.87 goals: a touch more clinical than the chance quality alone predicted, but hardly an escape from the evidence. The visitors put 14 of 20 shots on target, while Brasham Wanderers registered zero shots and 0.01 xG. That makes the 0-5 scoreline a fair reflection of the attacking imbalance, even if the final tally slightly exceeded the visitors’ expected return. The possession figures offer a tidy counterpoint: Brasham Wanderers had 52 per cent of the ball, yet Waleston’s 48 per cent came with the attempts, the goals and most of the danger.

Brasham Wanderers had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Waleston Albion

• Mahmoud Samy (7.5) - Scored once and assisted twice, giving him a hand in three goals despite collecting a yellow card.
• Jorge Varela (7.3) - Scored and assisted, helping turn Waleston’s early pressure into a substantial lead.
• Jose Montenegro (7.3) - Added a goal and supplied the assist for Marko Brkić’s second-half finish.

The first goal arrived in the ninth minute, and the next three followed before the interval. Mahmoud Samy scored and assisted, while Jorge Varela and Jose Montenegro added their own finishes; by half-time, Waleston Albion had made the contest one-sided in the most literal of ways. The fifth goal, from Marko Brkić in the 62nd minute, completed the scoring. The six yellow cards were shared evenly, though the hosts’ three did little to alter the match’s direction.

For Brasham Wanderers, the possession and dribble totals show that the side did have the ball and tried to carry it forward. They never converted that activity into a shot, however, and 0.01 xG leaves almost no room to argue that the score was a harsh reading of the afternoon. Waleston Albion were more direct and more dangerous, producing a five-goal win without needing to dominate possession. The final 0-5 is emphatic; the route to it was, by the numbers, even more emphatic.
