Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Twicher Albion scored six from 5.58 xG, a modest overperformance of 0.42; Favisbor scored three from 2.68 xG, exceeding its estimate by 0.32. The figures suggest the finishing was sharp on both sides, but the hosts built the firmer platform: 27 shots, including 19 on target, against 13 shots and nine on target for Favisbor. With 56% possession and better pass accuracy, Twicher Albion had more of the ball and more ways to turn it into pressure. Favisbor still produced enough to score three, and its two goals either side of the interval kept the contest lively. The hosts’ eventual three-goal margin reflects their larger share of the chances, though the visitors made them work for it.
The sequence after half-time was the decisive stretch: Favisbor made it 2-2 at 48', but David Williams restored the lead two minutes later, and Twicher Albion added three more before the visitors’ late reply could change the shape of the result. The hosts’ 8-3 advantage in tackles and 85% pass accuracy to Favisbor’s 79% offer further signs of control, even if the scoreline was never in danger of becoming a quiet one. Twicher Albion finished with six goals from six different scorers, while Favisbor found three of its own; on a day when both sides converted above their xG, the hosts simply created more opportunities and made better use of the extra supply.
