Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Upping finished with 1 goal from 1.13 xG, a return close to the chance quality recorded. Siltowbridge Town scored 3 from 1.99 xG, outperforming its estimate by just over a goal; Alvez’s brace was central to that sharper conversion. The visitors also registered 9 shots, 7 on target, against Upping’s 5 shots and 4 on target, giving the scoreline support in the volume and accuracy of their attempts. Upping held 54% possession and completed 85% of passes, but those measures did not translate into enough shooting opportunities to match the visitors’ threat. The figures suggest Siltowbridge Town made better use of its attacks, while Upping had more of the ball without finding a way to keep the visitors’ finishing in check.

The early goal gave Siltowbridge Town a foothold almost immediately, but Upping remained in the contest and Nilson Pires’s 65th-minute goal brought the score level at 1-1. The match was still within reach for the hosts, whose higher possession and stronger pass accuracy offered evidence of control in parts, if not the kind that ends up on the scoreboard. Siltowbridge Town responded with two goals in the final quarter, turning a close score into a clear away win.

The difference was decisive finishing at the moments that mattered. Lemoine helped set up the opening strike and the 76th-minute goal, while Alvez added a second in the 87th minute to complete the 3-1 result. Upping had enough of the ball to make a game of it, and its four shots on target were no mere administrative detail, but the visitors produced more attempts on target and converted more of their chances. The final score therefore reflects both the greater attacking volume from Siltowbridge Town and its more ruthless work in front of goal.
