Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Horton Rovers scored 12 from 5.61 xG, a substantial over-performance against the Gazzetta chance-quality estimate. Their 24 shots, 21 on target, and the six goals beyond the model’s expected return point to ruthless finishing as well as a steady supply of chances. Swarking City produced 0.11 xG from one shot, which did not reach the target; their zero goals were close to the estimate, but the attack rarely threatened to change the afternoon’s direction.

The possession split was almost level, yet the match was not: Swarking City held 51% of the ball and won seven corners, while Horton Rovers turned their 49% share into 12 goals. That is a useful reminder that possession records who had the ball, not who made the afternoon feel long. The hosts scored in both halves and added four goals from the 64th minute onward, while the visitors finished without a shot on target.
