Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Eccley’s four goals came from 4.18 xG, a slight underperformance against the chances created, though no one at the ground was likely filing a complaint about the conversion rate. Marnes Rangers finished without a goal from 1.21 xG, leaving a gap between their chance quality and the final score. The shot totals help explain the difference: Eccley produced 19 attempts, with 15 on target, while Marnes Rangers managed six and tested the goalkeeper four times. Eccley’s 57% possession, 17 dribbles and five corners point to a side able to sustain pressure and repeatedly threaten; Marnes Rangers had moments of their own, but not enough attacking volume to change the outcome.

• No Marnes Rangers players reached a rating of 7.0.

Eccley’s three-goal second half made the result increasingly comfortable, with goals from Velimir Tešanović, Raymond Gilbert and Richard Kelly extending the lead after the opening breakthrough. The bookings gave the match a more argumentative undertone, especially for a side already doing most of the attacking, but Eccley kept the score moving in the right direction. Marnes Rangers had four shots on target and enough xG to suggest they were not entirely absent; they simply left without a goal, while Eccley left with four and a clean sheet.
