Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Looddow Albion recorded 3.52 xG and scored twice, finishing below the chance-quality estimate by 1.52 goals. Ivybrinfiel had 1.75 xG but scored three, exceeding its estimate by 1.25. The shot totals underline the contrast: Looddow Albion had 17 attempts, 12 on target, while Ivybrinfiel managed eight attempts, six on target. That is a substantial attacking return for the visitors, and a costly gap between opportunity and outcome for the hosts. The figures suggest Looddow Albion created enough to expect more than two goals, while Ivybrinfiel turned a smaller share of the match’s attacking volume into the decisive advantage. The scoreline was close; the paths taken to reach it were not.

• Looddow Albion: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Simon Dunn (7.3) - Scored once and assisted once, contributing directly to two of Ivybrinfiel’s goals.
• Iuri Beqauri (7.0) - Scored and assisted, making his mark on both sides of the scoring ledger.

For Looddow Albion, the late goals from Alassane Kone and Graham Griffin made the final margin reflect the match more closely than the 51st-minute score did. They could not undo the damage of conceding three times, but their 17 shots and 3.52 xG make this less a case of failing to create than failing to turn creation into enough goals. Ivybrinfiel, by contrast, needed fewer attacks to build its lead and had enough defensive resistance to carry it over the line. A 2-3 defeat is still a defeat, but the numbers leave Looddow Albion with a clear finishing problem to consider and Ivybrinfiel with three points earned through sharply contrasting efficiency.
