Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Soughouth United 3.7 xG and Haston 0.86, against the actual score of six goals to none. The hosts therefore finished well above their expected return, converting chances at a rate that made an already substantial attacking advantage look even larger. Their 17 shots, 13 on target and 56% possession point to sustained pressure and an unusually productive afternoon in front of goal. Haston managed four shots, three on target, but their modest xG and failure to score indicate that the few openings they found did not carry enough quality—or finish—to change the contest. The eight corners for the visitors offer a small reminder that the match was not played entirely in one direction; they simply did not turn those moments into meaningful damage.
The decisive stretch came early: Soughouth United scored three times inside 23 minutes, then added a fourth before half-time and a fifth at the start of the second half. That sequence left Haston with a steep climb and little room to settle. The hosts did not need to dominate every measure to control the match: Haston had more dribbles and corners, but the difference in shots and goals tells the more useful story. Two late yellow cards were a minor blemish on a performance otherwise marked by clinical finishing and useful contributions from the front line.
- No Haston players reached a rating of 7.0.
