Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Ilforth scored none from 0.51 xG, while Yarley Rangers scored seven from 3.6. Both sides therefore finished above their chance-quality estimate, but the gap was especially striking for the visitors: seven goals from 16 shots, including 13 on target, was ruthless conversion rather than a routine return from the chances implied by xG. Ilforth managed only two shots, both on target, and neither found a goal. Their 56% possession and 12 corners did not translate into enough shooting opportunities to threaten the scoreline. Yarley Rangers had less of the ball, but their finishing made possession an accounting detail.

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

For Ilforth, the figures describe a particularly frustrating imbalance: more possession, more corners and nearly twice as many dribbles, yet only two attempts on goal. Yarley Rangers needed fewer touches of the ball to make the decisive impact, and their 13 shots on target gave the seven-goal return a clear foundation. The four yellow cards for Ilforth also marked a difficult afternoon without changing its central problem: the hosts could reach the attacking end, but could not turn that access into goals.

The final score, Ilforth 0 - 7 Yarley Rangers, reflects a vast difference in finishing and a sharp contrast between control of the ball and control of the match. Yordanov, Thomas and Fazlić supplied the headline contributions, while the spread of scoring across the visitors’ attack kept the afternoon moving in one direction. Division 7 League 8 has recorded a seven-goal away win; Ilforth’s corners, meanwhile, will have to settle for being plentiful.
