Expected Goals (xG) Analysis:

Bentershinst’s eight goals came from 3.36 xG, a substantial overperformance: the hosts converted chances at a rate the chance-quality estimate did not predict. Twelve of their 15 shots were on target, underlining how persistently they tested Blymough, while the final tally still speaks to unusually ruthless finishing. Blymough recorded 0.01 xG and no shots, so its near-zero expected return accurately reflected the lack of attacking threat. Bentershinst had 55% possession, but the more telling imbalance was in access to goal: ten corners to one and 11 tackles to four accompanied sustained pressure and repeated entries into dangerous areas. The numbers describe a side that controlled territory and made its opportunities count, while Blymough had little chance to alter the terms of the match.

• Blymough: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Bentershinst had already scored five times by the interval, with goals arriving through different combinations rather than one isolated route. Muratović assisted both of Ćorić’s finishes, while Sanni helped set up two of Pimentel’s three; later, Muratović and Bathie Faye extended the lead in the final stages. Blymough’s lone recorded booking came at 37', between Bentershinst’s fourth and fifth goals. The visitors kept a slightly higher pass-accuracy figure, 85% to 84%, but completed passes without finding a shot. By the end, Bentershinst had converted control into an 8-0 result, and the match had supplied a reminder that neat passing is most useful when accompanied by a route to goal.
