Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Kemough Town scored six from 2.8 xG, a substantial over-performance: the hosts converted chances at a rate the estimate would not ordinarily predict. Their 14 shots, including nine on target, show that the score was not built from a single fortunate moment, though the finishing went well beyond the chance quality recorded. BlackPool HQ had 0.11 xG from one shot, which did not trouble the target. The visitors’ 52% possession and 10 dribbles compared with seven for Kemough Town did not translate into meaningful threat. The contrast was stark: Kemough Town made its attacks count, while BlackPool HQ had the ball more often and the ball did not return the favour.
No BlackPool HQ players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
The scoreline leaves little doubt about the result, even if the xG makes clear that Kemough Town finished with unusual efficiency. Six goals were spread across the 42nd to 86th minutes, with Olaleye scoring three and Bishop twice; BlackPool HQ never found a shot on target to interrupt the pattern. The visitors matched the hosts’ pass accuracy and edged possession, but those measures could not substitute for chances. For Kemough Town, a six-goal win came from a match whose underlying chance estimate was far more modest—a reminder that the scoreboard records what went in, not what the model expected.
