Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Middloming Park recorded 4.38 xG and scored four, a small under-performance against the chance-quality estimate. The visitors’ 18 shots, 17 on target and 47% possession point to a side that did not need to monopolise the ball to create sustained danger. Telton, by contrast, finished with 0.26 xG from a single shot, which was on target, and no goal. The gap between the sides was therefore not a matter of possession but of how often they reached shooting positions and how threatening those attempts were. Four goals from 4.38 xG is close to the estimate; the more remarkable figure is that Telton managed only one attempt.

The first goal arrived after 22 minutes, and Joakim Nielsen supplied the assist. He did so again for Michel Lemoine before half-time, giving Middloming Park a two-goal cushion and a clear route into the second period. The contest then moved quickly from settled advantage to emphatic result: Lemoine scored again on 61 minutes, assisted by Ilija Nikolić, and Poul Nielsen added the fourth three minutes later. The yellow card for Jorge Alvez came at 66 minutes, after all four goals had already been scored. Telton had 53% possession and 85% pass accuracy, but those tidy numbers could not compensate for a solitary shot. There is a certain footballing austerity in controlling the ball while rarely asking the goalkeeper to do anything.

• Telton had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
