Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Guill Town scored three from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.48, while Telfrowbridge scored twice from 2.82. Both sides therefore finished a little below their xG, despite a match with five goals and plenty of attempts. Guill Town recorded 18 shots, 11 on target, against Telfrowbridge’s 13 shots and 10 on target; the hosts’ 55% possession and higher pass accuracy suggest they had more of the ball and moved it more cleanly. Yet the visitors’ xG remained substantial, with six corners and ten shots on target of their own. The numbers point to a busy contest in both penalty areas, not a one-sided siege.

No Telfrowbridge players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline was narrow, but the match was not short of action: Guill Town struck first in the third minute, and the teams combined for five goals before the cards stopped appearing. After Eric Moreau made it 3-1 in the 77th minute, Friedrich Unger replied a minute later, leaving Telfrowbridge within one. The ledger records no later goal, so Guill Town held on for the 3-2 win. Both clubs matched each other for fouls and yellow cards; Guill Town had the edge in possession, shots and dribbles, while Telfrowbridge took more corners. In the end, the hosts’ extra goal proved more useful than the visitors’ extra set pieces, as goals tend to be.
