Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Burnar scored four from 3.23 xG, finishing around 0.77 goals above the chance-quality estimate. Penham Villa scored twice from 1.83 xG, a smaller over-performance of 0.17. The figures point to a match in which Burnar’s greater volume of chances—17 shots to nine, with ten on target to six—helped build a deserved edge, while Penham Villa made meaningful use of its opportunities. The hosts’ early pair gave them room to withstand the visitors’ two replies; the goal at 53' restored a two-goal cushion just two minutes after Penham Villa had narrowed the gap.

• No Penham Villa players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline stayed lively after Burnar’s rapid start. Penham Villa found a route back through Nilson Pires before half-time, then Philippe Robert made it 3-2 early in the second half. Julio Cortes answered almost immediately, restoring the two-goal margin and showing the value of a prompt reply in a match where every attempt to make the contest close was met with another goal.

The statistics offer a neat contrast: Burnar had more possession, shots and dribbles, while Penham Villa made more tackles and matched the hosts’ five corners. Neither side was short of incident, and the four yellow cards for Burnar meant its control of the score did not translate into a particularly quiet afternoon. Still, the hosts made the stronger attacking case and kept their advantage through the final recorded event, a booking for Richard Stone at 85'. Burnar finished with a 4-2 win; Penham Villa supplied enough resistance to keep the afternoon busy, but not enough to change its result.
