Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Barming Park scored four from 3.63 xG, finishing 0.37 above the chance-quality estimate; Crand Park scored twice from 1.93 xG, a smaller over-performance of 0.07. The figures suggest the scoreline was broadly supported by the chances, with the hosts creating the greater expected threat. The shot count adds weight to that reading: Barming Park had 18 attempts and 12 on target, compared with Crand Park's 10 attempts and six on target. The visitors held 55% possession and completed slightly more dribbles, but the hosts needed less of the ball to produce more shots and, ultimately, more goals. In a match that swung back to level at 2-2, the decisive distinction was not control of possession but the hosts’ greater volume of attempts and ability to score again.

The ratings ledger lists no other eligible players at 7.0 or above. Barming Park had three yellow cards and Crand Park had two, with neither side shown a red card; the afternoon’s discipline was busy, though it did not reduce either side’s numbers.

The second equaliser could have made the closing stretch a test of nerve for both clubs. Instead, Sunny Walker put Barming Park back in front six minutes later, and Roy Keizer added the fourth in the 90th minute. That final goal made the margin two, while the match statistics explain why the hosts could claim the result without claiming most of the ball: more shots, more shots on target and a clearer advantage in xG. Barming Park did not monopolise the game; it made the more productive use of it.
