Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Contre Albion scored nine from an xG of 3.71, a remarkable return that points to finishing far beyond the chances’ estimated quality. Yet the underlying volume was substantial: 17 shots, 13 on target and eight corners gave the visitors repeated opportunities to test Fazelford’s defence. Fazelford United had five shots, all on target, and an xG of 1.28; one goal leaves them slightly below that estimate. Possession was close, with Fazelford holding 52 per cent, but the shot totals show why the ball’s itinerary mattered more than its address. Contre Albion made its attacks count at an extraordinary rate, while Fazelford’s share of possession did not translate into enough chances to keep the match in reach.
Fazelford United: No players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
Contre Albion:
- Dušan Ramić (8.4) - Scored a hat-trick, providing the most direct evidence of Contre Albion’s ruthless finishing.
- Stuart Barker (8.3) - Scored twice and supplied two assists, contributing across the visitors’ attack.
- Ken Wilkinson (8.0) - Scored once and assisted three goals, repeatedly shaping the decisive moves.
- Keith Stephens (7.6) - His two goals added to the visitors’ first-half surge.
- Ruben Carroll (7.0) - Opened the scoring and later assisted Ken Wilkinson.
The result was already decisive by half-time, when Contre Albion had scored six times; three further goals after the break made the scale of the win impossible to mistake. Fazelford United did find a reply through Thierry Bonnet in the 83rd minute, with Leonardo Barrera assisting, and their five shots on target show they did manage to threaten. But a late goal could offer only a small point of resistance after the visitors had repeatedly converted attacks into goals. The final 9-1 score is harsher than the xG gap alone would predict, but the 13-5 advantage in shots on target offers a clear account of how the afternoon tilted so heavily toward Contre Albion.
