Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sandon Albion scored six from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 2.91 xG, an overperformance of 3.09 goals. That is a substantial return, but the shot count gives the finishing some context: the hosts put 11 of their 12 attempts on target and converted with remarkable efficiency. Saltone City had 0.26 xG and one shot on target, so their 55 per cent possession produced little threat. Six corners to one offered the visitors some territory, but Sandon’s 12 tackles and the final score suggest that possession was not the same thing as control of the dangerous parts of the match.

The first half established the direction early. John Holm opened the scoring in the 10th minute, and Henrik Larsen made it two 12 minutes later. Giuseppe Bellini, assisted by Kenji Sato, added a third before the break. The second half brought no reversal: Larsen scored again at 68', then assisted a further Sandon goal at 74'. Michel Laurent completed the scoring in the 81st minute. The ledger does not name that 74th-minute scorer, so the credit here remains with the team and Larsen’s assist rather than a guess.

• No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher were recorded for Saltone City.

The margin leaves little doubt about the outcome, even if Saltone City had more of the ball and the better passing accuracy. Sandon Albion were direct, accurate and far more productive in front of goal; the visitors’ possession and corners never translated into sustained danger. Five home yellow cards add a less polished detail to an otherwise commanding win, but the decisive arithmetic is straightforward: six goals scored, none conceded, and a match in which territory belonged to one side while the threat belonged almost entirely to the other.
