Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The scoreline was Strouth 9-1 Ampton, against a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 6.29-1.77. Strouth therefore finished almost three goals above its xG, while Ampton scored once from an estimate of 1.77. The hosts’ 28 shots, including 23 on target, show sustained pressure rather than a handful of improbable strikes; their finishing was exceptionally productive on top of that volume. Ampton put all seven of its shots on target and converted one, but the gap in attempts points to a side that could make its chances count only once while spending much of the match defending. Possession was comparatively close at 53-47, a reminder that the ball can be shared without the danger being shared.
- Ampton - No standout performers rated 7.0 or above.
The opening eight minutes offered a brief suggestion of a contest: Strouth scored in the second minute, and Bernardino Alves, assisted by Teimuraz Kurtanidze, replied in the eighth. Ampton then collected three yellow cards by the 29th minute, while Strouth turned the match decisively with further goals at 20, 26, 31 and 36 minutes. After the interval, Tony Kane completed his hat-trick, and Strouth added four more goals, with Marcos Pinto involved in two of them. Ampton matched Strouth on corners and fouls, and even recorded more dribbles and tackles; those figures make the scale of the defeat no less emphatic, but they do show that effort and possession alone were not enough to contain a side repeatedly finding the target.
