Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Althead scored six from an xG of 3.9, finishing 2.1 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is substantial over-performance, though 15 shots on target from 16 attempts provides a rather persuasive explanation for how the tally grew so large. Higgley Dew United produced two shots, both on target, for 0.51 xG and no goals: a small return of chances, and no margin for error in front of goal. Possession was almost level, with the visitors at 51%, but their extra time on the ball did not become comparable attacking output. Althead were far more productive when they reached shooting positions, and the six-goal margin reflected that difference more than control of possession.

The sequence gave Althead an early foothold, then a commanding lead through two goals in three minutes before the break. Oscar Fernandez added a fourth shortly after half-time; Bruno Silvera and Jose Borges supplied the later goals to complete the 6-0. The visitors’ 16 dribbles show that they tried to carry the ball forward, while their two attempts at goal show how little that activity translated into threat. For Althead, the match was an emphatic display of conversion and combination play; for Higgley Dew United, the possession figures offered scant consolation beside a scoreline that kept expanding.

No Higgley Dew United player reached a recorded rating of 7.0.
