Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Chinstling scored five from an xG of 4.19, finishing 0.81 goals above the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. Bidenham scored twice from 3.42 xG, falling 1.42 short of the chances their attack created. The visitors’ 16 shots, 12 on target and seven corners show that they were not simply spectators in a match that got away from them; their returns in front of goal were the more noticeable gap. Chinstling also made more of its opportunities, with 19 shots and 15 on target, and its early three-goal burst gave it room to absorb Bidenham’s response. Seven goals from a combined 7.61 xG made for a productive afternoon, though the scoreboard still records the difference between creating danger and cashing it in.

• No Bidenham players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

Bidenham’s two goals between the 72nd and 78th minutes briefly revived the contest after Sunday Muhammed had made it 4-0. That response mattered: the visitors turned a one-sided score into a more respectable one, and their higher corner count and pass accuracy underline that they had spells of possession and pressure. But Chinstling answered with Bruno Rossi’s 82nd-minute goal, restoring the three-goal margin and settling any remaining argument about the result. The hosts were not flawless, and the visitors found chances, but five goals and a composed final reply made Chinstling’s 5-2 win a fair account of the afternoon.
