The report
The match was already leaning decisively Wichde’s way before the half-hour. Fernando Mariani opened the scoring in the eighth minute, assisted by Kone Konate, who added a goal of his own three minutes later. Rafael Pardo made it three in the 27th minute, and Gerard Wessels extended the lead before the break. The two yellow cards, one for each side, provided a brief administrative interlude in a first half otherwise devoted to the scoreboard.
The second half had a quieter stretch, but not a change of direction. Kone Konate scored again in the 75th minute, and Gerard Wessels added his second four minutes later, assisted by Fernando Mariani. Deedbury finished with 53% possession and four corners, figures that show the hosts had their share of the ball and set pieces, but none of the shots required to turn either into a goal. Wichde were more direct in the outcome: six goals, 13 attempts on target and a six-goal margin.

Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wichde scored six from an xG of 3.5, finishing two and a half goals above the chance-quality estimate. That points to unusually effective finishing on top of a substantial attacking return: 15 shots, with 13 on target, gave the visitors repeated opportunities to test the defence. Deedbury’s xG of 0.01 is close to nil, matching their total of zero shots. The hosts did have more possession, but it produced no recorded attempt; control of the ball, in this case, came without a route to goal. Wichde’s 47% possession was enough to create the chances and convert them in emphatic fashion.
A 6-0 result can make every other column look decorative, but the numbers explain the shape of this one. Deedbury completed passes at the same accuracy as Wichde and had more of the possession, yet recorded no shots; Wichde turned fewer touches of the ball into a steady stream of attempts and six goals. The visitors exceeded their xG handsomely, while the hosts never came close to troubling the scoreline. It was a commanding win built on both volume and finishing, with the final margin leaving little room for ambiguity.
