Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Waley Rovers scored five from 4.78 xG, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate, and the volume behind it was emphatic: 22 shots, 17 on target. St End Edge scored once from 0.79 xG, also slightly outperforming the estimate, but had only three attempts in total. The figures describe a match in which the hosts repeatedly turned possession and forward pressure into chances, while the visitors made their limited opportunities count once. The 54-46 possession split was not enormous; the difference lay in what each side did with its share of the ball.

The sequence around half-time was decisive. Pero Vasiljević opened the scoring in the second minute and added another at 37', before Per Fabricius struck twice in the space of six minutes. Vladimir štimac briefly gave St End Edge a goal at 42', assisted by Julio Guzman, but Per Fabricius restored the three-goal cushion before the interval. David Allen supplied the final goal at 68', assisted by Arne Riis. St End Edge recorded more dribbles, 13 to seven, but that individual endeavour did not translate into enough shots to trouble the hosts consistently.

The final margin was four goals, and the match statistics support it without requiring any theatrical assistance. Waley Rovers put 17 of 22 shots on target, while all three of St End Edge’s attempts were on target; the visitors were accurate with what they managed, but managed very little. The teams were close in pass accuracy, 83% to 82%, and each collected three yellow cards. Those details make the contest feel less like a complete mismatch in every department and more like one side being markedly more productive in the places that decide football matches.

No St End Edge players reached a rating of 7.0.
