Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Sough Forest scored five from an xG of 4.58, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate rather than a wild departure from it. The visitors’ 23 shots, including 15 on target, explain how they kept the pressure and the scoring chances coming. Callin United, by contrast, finished with no goals from 1.61 xG despite putting six of seven attempts on target. That gap points to a costly failure to convert the opportunities they did create, while Sough Forest paired a much higher volume of attacks with enough finishing to make the contest one-sided. Possession was close at 48-52, but the shot count suggests the ball was not spending equal amounts of time causing concern.

The first three goals came between the 11th and 24th minutes, with Khadim Diakhate scoring twice in that burst. His first was set up by Nel de Groot, and Scott Smith supplied the assist for the second; Lindomar Da Silva added the middle goal without an assist recorded. After the break, Viktor Ivanov made it four, then collected a yellow card before Oscar Caraballo completed the scoring in the 90th minute, assisted by Diakhate. Sough Forest therefore had the margin established early and still found room to add to it late, with the final goal arriving after the visitors’ two cautions.

The 0-5 result leaves little doubt about the balance of the match: Sough Forest were far more productive in front of goal and sustained that threat across both halves. Callin United did register six shots on target and a respectable xG figure, but neither translated into a goal. For the visitors, Diakhate’s decisive early contribution and the later strikes from Ivanov and Caraballo turned a strong start into a complete scoreline. The possession figures were nearly level; the occasions were not.
