Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Howsborth’s four goals came from 4.13 xG, a close match between chance quality and the final return: the hosts finished just below expectation. Hen Leom City’s 2.07 xG produced one goal, leaving a more substantial gap between their opportunities and their reward. Howsborth’s 16 shots on target from 17 attempts gave the home side a steady stream of goal-threatening efforts, while the visitors managed seven on target from ten shots but converted only once. The 49-51 possession split and Hen Leom City’s greater dribbling tally show that the visitors had the ball and carried it forward; Howsborth were more decisive in turning their attacks into goals.

• Hen Leom City had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Hen Leom City’s late goal made the scoreline 4-1, but it arrived after Luis Pinto and Friedrich Unger had scored in the 80th and 83rd minutes to put the outcome beyond practical doubt. The visitors’ six corners, 14 dribbles and slightly higher possession indicate they were not short of ways to advance the ball. Howsborth, however, supplied the more consequential moments, scoring twice in the first half and twice in three minutes late on. Four bookings for Hen Leom City, against one for the hosts, added a less productive kind of activity to the visitors’ afternoon. The result was emphatic, even if the chance figures suggest Hen Leom City had enough opportunity to make the final margin less comfortable.
