xG Analysis:
Souls dominated the expected goals with a total of 3.73, reflecting their high-quality chances and offensive dominance. Their 14 shots on target indicate a relentless attacking approach, which translated into three goals—slightly overperforming their xG, demonstrating clinical finishing. Marwick Stanley had an xG of 1.97 from nine shots, with seven on target, but their efforts fell short of their expected output, highlighting some inefficiency in front of goal. Tactical discipline and goalkeeping heroics, especially from Souls’ keeper, who made 10 saves, kept the visitors at bay despite their efforts.
No other players from either side reached the 7.0 threshold, but the disciplined performances across the pitch contributed to a well-rounded team effort.
