Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Leomble Albion scored four from 3.24 xG, a modest overperformance, while Whill United scored once despite a 2.52 xG estimate. That is a substantial gap between the visitors’ chance quality and their return; the ten shots on target suggest they did make the home defence work, but the final score records only one reward. The hosts had 14 shots, with 12 on target, and converted enough of their opportunities to turn a relatively competitive chance-quality picture into a decisive 4-1 result. Possession was 55%-45% to Leomble Albion, while their 14 dribbles to Whill’s seven point to greater willingness or success in taking on opponents. The xG numbers say Whill had credible attacking opportunities; the scoreboard says Leomble Albion made far better use of theirs.

No Whill United players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The 4-1 scoreline gives Leomble Albion a comfortable margin, though the underlying figures make the match less one-sided than the result alone might suggest. Whill United matched the hosts for shots on target and earned one more corner, but their two yellow cards and lower dribble total accompanied a contest in which their attacking pressure did not translate into enough goals. Leomble Albion, by contrast, combined a small possession edge with sharper finishing and the extraordinary convenience of one player scoring every goal. Four goals from Nilson Pires settled the argument on the pitch, while the xG figures preserve a footnote for Whill: there were chances to make the afternoon considerably less comfortable.
