Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Shilmswoot scored seven from 3.3 xG, an over-performance of 3.7 goals. That is a striking return: the hosts had 11 shots on target from 16 attempts, and converted them at a rate their chance quality alone would not predict. Crod Albion, meanwhile, recorded 0.01 xG and no attempts, so the 7-0 result was not built on a close contest of chances. Their 53% possession and eight corners brought territory and set-piece opportunities without a shot to show for them; possession, as ever, does not insist on being useful.

• No Crod Albion player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The score was already 3-0 by the 24th minute, and Shilmswoot added four more after the break. The late goals underline the scale of the home side’s finishing advantage, while the absence of any away shot leaves little evidence that Crod Albion came close to changing the direction of the match. The visitors did edge possession, pass accuracy, corners and dribbles; those numbers make the result no less emphatic, only more peculiar. Shilmswoot had fewer touches of the ball by the possession measure, but made its time with it count to a degree the xG figure can only politely call exceptional.
