Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Soutton scored six from an xG of 4.39, finishing 1.61 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is an exceptional return, though the underlying numbers were already strongly in their favour: 21 shots, 15 on target, against only three shots and two on target for Upton-Arumble. The visitors’ 0.61 xG points to a limited supply of meaningful chances, while Soutton repeatedly turned their attacking volume into danger. Possession went 53-47 to Upton-Arumble, but control of the ball and control of the match were evidently separate administrative departments.

No Upton-Arumble player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For Soutton, the early goals established a four-goal cushion by the 38th minute; the late strikes from Amidou Koffi and Nico Hartman made sure the afternoon ended with no room for a different reading of events. Predrag Pranjić was central to the scoring, while Hartman added a second goal in the final minute. The two supplied the standout performances, and the home side’s six goals were spread across a long enough stretch to make the final score feel less like a single burst than a match steadily being put beyond reach.

Upton-Arumble had more possession, dribbled more often and made more tackles, but those measures could not compensate for the disparity in shots and chances. Their three attempts offered little threat beside Soutton’s 21, and the visitors finished without a player rated 7.0 or above. With six goals, three yellows apiece and no red cards, the match had both a lopsided scoreline and a reasonably even allocation of cautions. The scoreboard, as ever, was less interested in the paperwork.
