Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Coroad Wanderers 0.46 xG and Ampton Albion 4.08. Against those figures, the actual 0-5 score has Ampton Albion finishing slightly above its expected return, while Coroad Wanderers failed to convert its limited opportunities into a goal. The visitors’ 21 shots, including 13 on target, provide the tactical substance behind the result: they repeatedly created chances and kept testing the goal, rather than building their win from possession alone. Coroad Wanderers had 52% of the ball, but managed only three attempts and one on target. Possession, in this case, was more a record of who had the ball than of who made the afternoon’s decisions.

No Coroad Wanderers players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The pattern was clear well before the final whistle: Ampton Albion scored in the 15th and 32nd minutes, then added three goals between the 81st and 89th. That late burst stretched the margin from a comfortable win to a 0-5 result, with Coroad Wanderers unable to find a reply. The hosts did have more possession and corners, but the visitors’ greater shot volume, shots on target and xG tell the more useful story of the contest. Ampton Albion leave with all five goals and a performance whose numbers agree, unusually neatly, with its final score.
