Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Deves United scored five from 3.84 xG, finishing 1.16 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is a measure of sharp execution on top of an already forceful attacking display: 14 of their 17 shots were on target. Seadle produced 0.36 xG from two shots, with one on target, but finished without a goal. The possession figures were almost level at 51% to 49%, yet they concealed a substantial difference in threat. Seadle had more corners, eight to three, but the visitors made far more of their attacking opportunities; possession, in this case, was a rather poor substitute for danger.

The early goals gave Deves United control of the scoreboard before the match had settled into anything resembling a contest. Segundo Vargas added two after the interval, with the third and fourth goals arriving in a nine-minute stretch that made recovery a remote proposition. Seadle kept a slight edge in possession and won eight corners, but those figures did not translate into enough shots to trouble the visitors consistently. The five-goal margin was emphatic, and the shot count offers a plain explanation for it.

• No Seadle players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.
