Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Souttey Athletic 5.2 xG and Newton Stanley 0.01. Eight goals from 5.2 xG is a substantial overperformance, while the visitors’ zero goals from almost no expected chance reflects a match in which they produced no shots. The hosts’ 19 efforts on target from 23 attempts show that their control was not merely territorial: they repeatedly turned possession into attempts that tested the defence. Their 57% possession and 84% pass accuracy helped sustain that pressure, and the spread of goals across the second half suggests the attack kept finding ways through rather than settling for its early lead. The xG figure does temper the scoreline slightly; eight goals was more than the estimated quality of chances would predict, but the volume and accuracy of the shooting made the margin a clear expression of the match.

• No Newton Stanley players reached a rating of 7.0.

The 8-0 result was emphatic, but the figures give it shape: Souttey Athletic had 23 shots, 19 on target and eight goals, while Newton Stanley finished without an attempt. The visitors did win three corners to the hosts’ two, a small statistical foothold in a game otherwise short on footholds. Souttey Athletic spread the scoring across eight different entries in the match ledger, with Ali Adamu and Francisco Fernandez especially productive, and kept the pressure on through the final minute. For Newton Stanley, the task of containing that attack never became simpler as the afternoon went on.
