Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

Roystock City’s four goals came against an xG of 4.03, while Streton Town’s three came from 3.08. Both sides therefore finished just below their chance-quality estimates, by 0.03 and 0.08 goals respectively: near enough to the forecast that the model can avoid drafting a formal complaint. The figures support a match in which finishing broadly reflected the opportunities created, rather than one side making a vast amount from very little.

Roystock City had 19 shots to Streton Town’s 14, and put 14 on target compared with the visitors’ 11. That attacking volume, alongside six corners to one, points to the hosts creating the greater share of the pressure. Possession was much closer, at 52% to 48%, so control of the ball alone does not explain the result. Roystock City’s advantage was in turning its attacks into repeated attempts and, ultimately, the extra goal. Streton Town’s three goals and 3.08 xG show that the visitors offered a substantial attacking response, even if their late scoring left too little time to turn it into an equaliser.

Streton Town had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher recorded.

The result rests on Roystock City’s early efficiency and Semedo’s three-goal contribution, but the scoreline never became a quiet procession. Streton Town reduced the deficit at 51', and after Semedo’s 68th-minute goal appeared to restore breathing room, Michael Harris and Peng Ang (Streton Town) scored in successive minutes. Roystock City’s one-goal win was therefore earned through the greater shot volume and the four-goal return, not through any shortage of late tension. Seven goals, close xG figures and a finish that tightened quickly: a busy afternoon for both defences, and not much time for anyone to admire the arithmetic.
