Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Wirton Town 2.57 xG against one goal, while Barthmough Villa scored three from 1.45 xG. That is a substantial difference in finishing: Wirton Town reached the target nine times from 12 shots, but converted only once, while the visitors scored three times from four shots on target. The figures suggest the hosts created enough to make the scoreline look less comfortable on paper, yet the visitors were markedly more clinical in the moments that mattered. Possession and passing also leaned towards Barthmough Villa, at 57% and 90% accuracy, but control of the ball did not translate into the larger xG total.

The decisive passage came in the first half, when Barthmough Villa scored in the 17th, 19th and 42nd minutes. Michel Lemoine struck twice, with Willi Schneider adding a goal between them; the third was assisted by Jorge Alvez. That three-goal cushion gave the visitors room to absorb Wirton Town’s response after Allan Carroll scored in the 53rd minute. The hosts matched the visitors on corners and made more tackles, while Barthmough Villa recorded more dribbles and fewer fouls. The match offered several measures of competing styles, though the scoreboard remained the least ambiguous one.

• Wirton Town: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Barthmough Villa: Michel Lemoine (7.6) - Scored twice and supplied the clearest edge in a match where the visitors converted their chances efficiently.
