The difference between the sides was not simply that Chirker scored early. Witch had 53% possession and six corners, but its 0 shots underline how little threat those figures became. Chirker needed less of the ball and took its opportunities with unusual severity, adding three goals in the final stretch after building a three-goal lead before the interval. The 19 fouls recorded by the visitors and their three yellow cards suggest the match was not frictionless, but the decisive work was done in front of goal. For Witch, the afternoon offered possession without a shot and corners without a reply; for Chirker, a 2.8 xG performance became six goals and a comprehensive away win.
