Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Southam recorded 4.13 xG and scored three, underperforming the chance-quality estimate by 1.13 goals. That still points to a strong attacking display: 20 attempts, 14 on target and eight corners gave the hosts repeated routes into dangerous positions, even if the finishing did not quite match the volume. Chetwick scored once from 0.41 xG, making its only shot on target count and finishing above the estimate. The visitors’ 48% possession and 12 dribbles show they were not entirely without the ball or ambition, but two shots overall left little room for that activity to become sustained threat. The contrast was clear: Chetwick took its opening, while Southam created enough to make the eventual margin feel more modest than the underlying chances suggested.

• Chetwick had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was 3-1, but the contest’s shape was more lopsided than that number alone suggests. Chetwick showed useful efficiency in taking its early lead; Southam responded quickly, then built enough pressure to score twice more and keep the visitors to one effort on target. The four yellow cards brought a little administrative texture to the closing stages, though the main business had already been settled by Southam’s advantage in chances. It was a deserved win, with the hosts’ only complaint likely to be that 4.13 xG yielded three goals rather than a larger return.
