Brouth Athletic 9 - 0 Trenage Wanderers

The scoreline was emphatic, and the underlying shot count gives it a sturdy foundation: Brouth Athletic had 21 attempts, 18 on target, while Trenage Wanderers managed one shot and none on target. The xG figures, however, show that the hosts went well beyond the chances’ expected return, scoring nine from 4.85 xG, an overperformance of 4.15 goals. Trenage Wanderers recorded just 0.11 xG and no goal, so there was little in the visitors’ attacking output to suggest a route back into the match. Possession finished level at 50% apiece, a useful reminder that the ball can be shared without the danger being shared with it.

The first-half burst settled the contest early: Brouth Athletic scored five times by the 38th minute, with Baptista finding the net three times in that spell. The hosts added four more after the break, including two goals from Alija Tadić, and completed the 9 - 0 result through Baptista in the 85th minute. The corners went the other way, 6-3 to Trenage Wanderers, but their solitary attempt never tested the target. The visitors also made more tackles and dribbles; neither measure altered the central fact that Brouth Athletic put 18 shots on target and scored nine. It was a considerable afternoon for the hosts’ attack, and a long one for the visitors’ defensive arithmetic.
