Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Nestele Wanderers scored seven from 4.35 xG, a substantial overperformance that reflects both the volume of chances and their finishing. Their 19 shots, 16 on target, gave Brito and the attack ample opportunity to turn pressure into goals; the eventual tally exceeded even the quality estimate by 2.65. Gret Yarken Park registered 0.01 xG and no shots, a figure that describes an attack almost entirely absent from the match. The 54-46 possession split was relatively close, but possession without attempts proved to be a fairly decorative statistic. The contrast was in the penalty areas: Nestele Wanderers repeatedly converted their access into danger, while the visitors never produced a shot to test the hosts.

• No Gret Yarken Park player reached a rating of 7.0.

The seven-goal margin was earned through an attack that kept producing, rather than a possession monopoly: Nestele Wanderers had only a modest edge in the ball and fewer dribbles and tackles than their opponents. The key difference was what happened after the build-up. Sixteen shots on target gave the hosts a steady supply of chances, and Brito’s four-goal performance made particularly good use of it. Gret Yarken Park worked defensively and won more tackles, but with no attempts at the other end there was no route back into the contest. The final 7-0 scoreline was emphatic, and the underlying numbers make clear why.
