Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: North Orient’s four goals came almost exactly in line with their 4.03 xG, a tidy conversion of the chances their attack created. Woodster United scored once from 1.72 xG, finishing below the estimate; the visitors had enough opportunity to make more of their night, but not enough accuracy in the final outcome. The shot count helps explain the difference: North Orient recorded 19 attempts, 14 on target, while Woodster United managed eight shots and six on target. The visitors held 54% possession and won 11 corners, but North Orient made their fewer spells on the ball count with a far greater volume of attempts. This was not a case of the hosts needing to dominate possession to dominate the score.

The early goal gave North Orient a platform, and Jack West contributed again by assisting Xinping Boon before half-time. Ken Butler extended the lead shortly after the break, then assisted Antonio Millan to make it four by the 59th minute. That sequence left Woodster United facing a substantial deficit well before the closing stages. Wolfgang Möller and Seongsu Bang combined for a goal in the 86th minute, but the reply arrived too late to make the contest uncertain. The numbers are slightly unusual in their own quiet way: Woodster United had more of the ball, more corners and more dribbles, while North Orient produced more than twice as many shots and converted the chances their xG suggested they would.

Woodster United: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
