Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The 3-3 scoreline was a little kinder to Bershoreham than the chance-quality estimate suggests, and rather less kind to Chinstling. Bershoreham scored three from 2.83 xG, a modest overperformance of 0.17; Chinstling also scored three, despite generating 4.18 xG, underperforming that figure by 1.18. The visitors’ 19 shots, 15 on target and nine corners point to a side that created the greater volume and quality of chances, while Bershoreham made its opportunities count efficiently. The hosts’ spell of three goals between the 15th and 28th minute was the sharpest swing of the match, but it did not erase Chinstling’s persistent attacking pressure. With both teams scoring three, neither defence can claim the evening was mainly about keeping the door shut.

• No Chinstling players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The final 3-3 reflected the part each side played, if not quite the full balance of chances. Bershoreham showed how quickly a match can turn when chances are finished cleanly; Chinstling showed how often a team can threaten without quite converting that pressure into a winning score. The visitors’ equaliser arrived in the 74th minute, with Luca Colombo completing a comeback that began after Bershoreham had built its two-goal cushion. The result leaves both sides with a point from a game that offered little time for anyone to settle, and plenty of evidence that finishing and defending remain separate departments.
