Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Guisham Villa recorded 4.28 xG and scored three, finishing below the chance-quality estimate despite putting 15 of 20 shots on target. That points to a substantial supply of threatening attempts, even if the final return fell short of the opportunities’ combined expected value. Stage Rangers had 0.98 xG and scored once, a slight over-performance against the estimate, but their five shots and three on target made sustained attacking pressure difficult to establish. Possession was relatively close at 53%-47%; the larger difference was in the volume of attempts, where Guisham Villa held a clear advantage.

• No Stage Rangers players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The second-half goal from Cristian Fernandez, assisted by Daniel Rodrigues, gave Stage Rangers a route back into the match after the hosts had built a two-goal lead. But Guisham Villa restored their cushion through Marcelo Valenzuela in the 69th minute, with Hugo Visser supplying the assist. The visitors’ response was real, if brief; the hosts’ third goal settled the score at 3-1.

The numbers support that margin without suggesting every chance was converted: Guisham Villa created far more attempts and corners, while passing accuracy and possession remained fairly close. Both sides finished with two yellow cards, and neither received a red. Guisham Villa had the greater attacking weight, Stage Rangers found one useful reply, and the final 3-1 gives the clearest account of the afternoon without pretending the finishing matched the xG ledger exactly.
