Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sedcanch’s 3.13 xG sat just above its three goals, a close match between chance quality and the scoreline. Suthwen Rangers scored once from 0.79 xG, finishing a return that was modest but not negligible. The shot count gives the clearest measure of the difference: Sedcanch registered 16 attempts, with 10 on target, while all three of Suthwen Rangers’ shots found the target. The visitors were more accurate in their passing and had the greater share of possession, but those advantages did not translate into a comparable volume of chances. Sedcanch’s attacking output, rather than its control of the ball, supplied the decisive weight.

No Suthwen Rangers players reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher.

The score moved quickly: Sedcanch had two goals by the 19th minute and added a third in the 44th, only for Pedro Chagas to answer for Suthwen Rangers in the 45th. That late goal narrowed the margin before the break, but it did not erase the substantial gap in chances. The card count was limited to three yellows, and neither side finished with a red card; the contest’s main imbalance was in the shot column, not the disciplinary one.

Sedcanch therefore finished with a 3-1 win that its 3.13 xG and 16 attempts support, even if the visitors’ higher possession and passing accuracy suggest they were not simply absent from proceedings. Suthwen Rangers made all three shots count as efforts on target and found a goal, but had too few attempts to keep pace with the hosts’ threat. The final score matched the shape of the numbers: Sedcanch created much more, converted three times, and left the ball to Suthwen Rangers often enough for the possession statistic to have something to do.
