The xG figures reinforce the story: Newkinforough created enough high-quality chances to justify their tally, with an expected goals value of 4.5, more than half their actual output. Woold’s negligible xG of 0.01 underscores their struggles to threaten the goal, with their only shot on target coming from a rare foray forward. The hosts’ clinical finishing contrasted sharply with Woold’s inability to muster any real danger, highlighting tactical discipline and attacking efficiency. Woold’s goalkeeper faced 17 shots on target, yet could do little to prevent the inevitable, as the home side’s relentless pressure paid dividends.

No Woold player reached a rating of 7.0+, reflecting their struggles to impose themselves on the game.
