Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Goodlington scored four goals from 2.69 xG, finishing well above the chance-quality estimate. Uttling Stanley, despite losing 4-0, registered 1.51 xG and put all six of its shots on target, but did not turn that threat into a goal. The figures suggest a match in which the visitors found routes to attempts, while Goodlington made more of its opportunities and finished with striking efficiency. The 49-51 possession split offers little sign of territorial domination; the key distinction was what each side did when its shots arrived. Goodlington’s early goals established a lead, and the two late strikes made the final margin particularly emphatic.

• Uttling Stanley had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Uttling Stanley’s 51% possession, nine corners and 13 dribbles show that the visitors were not simply absent from the contest. They also put six shots on target, matching Goodlington’s total despite taking fewer shots overall. Yet the scoreboard records the less negotiable part of the afternoon: Goodlington scored from its chances, while Uttling Stanley left its 1.51 xG unanswered. Goodlington’s four goals came in two bursts, first taking control with strikes in the seventh and 19th minutes, then adding two more after the break. Uttling Stanley’s greater number of corners and tackles could not prevent that late separation. The 82nd-minute yellow card was the only card recorded, a small final interruption in a match whose largest statement had already been made.
