Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stusher Rovers recorded 2.52 xG but scored once, a substantial gap between the chances their opportunities suggested and the return they got. Stailtow, by contrast, scored four from 2.40 xG, finishing well above the estimate. The figures describe a match with comparable overall chance quality, not a four-goal gulf in expected output; the finishing made the gulf real. Stusher Rovers had 16 shots to Stailtow’s 10, but the visitors put nine of their attempts on target, while the hosts managed six. Possession was level at 50% apiece, so the decisive difference was not control of the ball so much as what happened when each side got a shot away.

• No Stusher Rovers players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The sequence of goals gave Stailtow the clearest say in the contest: an early lead, a Stusher Rovers equaliser, then a goal just before half-time and two more after the break. That is a demanding response to an equaliser, and Stailtow supplied it without needing to dominate possession or pile up attempts. Robert Miqeladze’s second goal, four minutes into the second half, restored the visitors’ advantage; Giga Dolidze then made the scoreline 4 - 1 on the hour.

The five yellow cards for Stailtow against one for Stusher Rovers add a rougher edge to the visitors’ afternoon, though they did not prevent the result from being settled by their efficiency in front of goal. Stusher Rovers had enough shots and enough estimated chance quality to expect more than one score, but the match was decided by conversion rather than volume. In Division 5 League 2, the ledger will record four goals for Stailtow and a comfortable margin; the shot count will need to argue its case separately.
