Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Patfor End’s four goals came from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 2.79 xG, an over-performance of 1.21 goals. That is a substantial return, but not a result built on a handful of improbable efforts: the hosts put nine of 14 shots on target and created enough to make their four-goal total feel more emphatic than inexplicable. Ecclixhall Rovers recorded 1.36 xG and five shots on target from six attempts, yet finished without a goal. The visitors were not entirely absent from the attacking picture; rather, their chances yielded nothing, while Patfor End repeatedly made theirs count. With possession almost even at 51–49, the distinction was less about monopolising the ball than about what each side did when an opening arrived.

• Ecclixhall Rovers had no players rated 7.0 or higher.

• Pass Accuracy%: 82%-83%

• Tackles: 6-3

The 4-0 scoreline was settled by Patfor End’s sharper finishing and the growing influence of Kasse, who was involved in the opening two goals and returned to assist the third and fourth. Ecclixhall Rovers had more corners, more dribbles and slightly higher pass accuracy, but those measures did not translate into a goal. Patfor End, meanwhile, needed only one corner and a near-even share of possession to turn its attacking moments into a clear win. The visitors’ two yellow cards and the hosts’ one came after the scoring had begun; the cautions added a little friction, but no change to the match’s direction. Four goals, four different contributions to the scoring sequence, and a final margin that left little room for debate.
