Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Despite Rock Albion’s 7 shots all on target, their xG of 1.8 indicates they were somewhat fortunate to convert three times, suggesting clinical finishing and effective shot placement. Conversely, Salter United’s 3 shots with an xG of just 0.64 reflect their limited attacking threat, which was compounded by Albion’s disciplined defense and goalkeeping. Albion’s efficiency in front of goal was a key factor in the victory, as they overperformed their xG, capitalizing on their chances better than expected.
No other players from either side reached the 7.0 threshold, but Albion’s collective effort was evident.
This match demonstrated Rock Albion’s ability to convert their chances efficiently, despite less possession, while Salter United struggled to create clear-cut opportunities. Albion’s disciplined defensive work and sharp finishing, led by Konan, ultimately secured their victory in a match that balanced tactical discipline with moments of individual brilliance.
