Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Towe Wanderers recorded 5.43 xG and scored four, finishing 1.43 goals below the chance-quality estimate. That is still a substantial return, and the 20 shots on target from 24 attempts show why the scoreline was so emphatic without requiring a claim that every opportunity was converted. Grayes Villa produced 1.21 xG from six shots, four on target, but scored none: a shortfall of 1.21. Their 56% possession, six corners and 85% pass accuracy point to more time on the ball and some means of reaching attacking areas, but not enough end product to alter the result. The difference was less about who kept possession and more about who repeatedly turned possession into dangerous attempts.

No Grayes Villa players reached a 7.0 rating.

The second half brought no revival in the scoreline for Grayes Villa. Phillip Lewis made it 3-0 in the 70th minute, and Mendoza completed his brace in the 83rd, assisted by Guerra. Four goals separated the sides at the finish, while the shot count separated them almost as plainly: Towe Wanderers attempted four times as many shots and put five times as many on target. Grayes Villa won the possession and corner-count columns, which is a tidy achievement for the record and a less useful one for the afternoon.

For Towe Wanderers, the 4-0 win reflected a strong attacking return and a willingness to keep testing the defence, even with less of the ball. Their 5.43 xG suggests the margin could have been larger, though four goals is not a result in need of embellishment. Grayes Villa had enough possession and chances to make the contest more competitive, but could not turn that activity into a goal. The final score was therefore clear, and the route to it was clearer still: Towe Wanderers made their opportunities count often enough; Grayes Villa did not make any count at all.
