Swarking City 5 - 1 Newquay Park

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate puts Swarking City at 4.38 xG and Newquay Park at 0.83, against actual returns of five goals and one. The hosts therefore finished slightly above expectation, while Newquay Park also converted beyond the quality of its limited chances. With 15 of their 21 shots on target, Swarking City repeatedly tested the defence and built a four-goal lead before the break. The visitors had only five attempts, two on target, and their goal arrived just after the interval. The possession split was close at 52–48, but the shot count was not: the hosts made substantially more of the ball they had.

The early goals gave Swarking City control without requiring a monopoly on possession, and the fifth, at 59 minutes, restored the four-goal margin after Newquay Park had briefly found a reply. The visitors did win more corners and dribble more often, but neither figure translated into sustained shooting pressure. Two yellow cards for the hosts added a little friction to a match whose main direction had been established well before half-time. Swarking City finished with a clear 5 - 1 win, built on volume, accuracy and a first-half lead that left the visitors with too much ground to recover.
