Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Harmoutham at 3.45 xG and Tickbury Hotspur at 0.26. Harmoutham’s six goals therefore exceeded its estimate by 2.55, a substantial return from the chances created; Tickbury finished without a goal, 0.26 below its estimate. The shot count gives the broader shape: Harmoutham had 16 attempts, 12 on target, against one attempt from Tickbury, also on target. The equal 50 per cent possession figures obscure the central tactical fact: the ball was shared, but the danger was not. Harmoutham repeatedly turned its attacking pressure into shots and made the finishing unusually decisive, while Tickbury’s lone effort could not alter the contest.

For Tickbury Hotspur, the final 0-6 score leaves little room to soften the verdict: one shot and 0.26 xG were not enough to trouble a side that kept finding the target. Harmoutham had more attempts, more shots on target and more corners, despite matching Tickbury’s possession and recording slightly lower pass accuracy. The visitors’ two yellow cards and greater foul count mark a more physical afternoon, but neither stopped their attack from continuing to produce. Six goals from 3.45 xG is a notably generous conversion of opportunity; the margin was emphatic, and the underlying shot totals show that it was not built on finishing alone.
