Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sudlach Park finished with 3.78 xG and three goals, underperforming the chance-quality estimate by 0.78. That is a considerable supply of opportunity for a side that still left some value on the table; the 18 shots, 13 on target and three-goal return point to sustained, productive pressure rather than a victory assembled from one fortunate moment. Lydencastbur recorded 1.52 xG and one goal, also below its estimate, with nine shots and four on target. The numbers suggest the visitors created enough to make their goal a plausible part of the contest, but not enough to match the hosts’ output. Possession was nearly even, 49% to 51%, while the shot totals were not: Sudlach Park found the target more than three times as often. Corners went the other way, 2-8, a small statistical reminder that territorial signals and actual danger are not always on speaking terms.

The scoreline gives Sudlach Park a deserved two-goal margin, and the underlying chance balance supports it. Lydencastbur did not lack routes forward: its corner count and dribble total show a side willing to probe, while its 69th-minute goal, finished by Patrick Lewis from Hiroshi Murata’s assist, briefly brought the visitors back into the scoring. But Sudlach Park had already established a two-goal cushion by half-time, with assists from Trevor Smith and Robert Hammer, and added a third in the 79th minute. The record gives no scorer for the hosts’ goals, so the report leaves those names where the ledger does: respectfully out of sight.

No players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher for either side.
