Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Carth Rovers’ seven goals came from an xG of 3.21, a return well above the chance-quality estimate. That is emphatic finishing on top of a strong attacking volume: 15 shots, 11 on target and nine corners. Regnmouth’s 0.26 xG and single shot, which was on target, point to a side with little opportunity to alter the match’s direction. The gap between 3.21 expected goals and seven actual goals makes the final margin unusually large even by the standards of a one-sided performance; Carth Rovers were productive, and their finishing made the afternoon more lopsided still.

• No Regnmouth players reached a rating of 7.0.

The statistics give the result some useful context without making it less severe. Carth Rovers had 54% possession and a clear advantage in shots and corners; Regnmouth, meanwhile, recorded more dribbles and tackles, but neither measure produced a second shot. The visitors’ 46% possession and 79% pass accuracy show they were not absent from the ball entirely, yet the match was decided by what happened when Carth Rovers reached the other end.

The goals were spread across the match, with Carth Rovers scoring at 14', 27', 46', 52', 62', 68' and 90'. The two early goals established control, and the sequence after the break carried the score into territory where the remaining task was largely to keep the record straight. Three yellow cards arrived between 56' and 76', all during a period in which the goals continued to set the more prominent tone. With seven goals, seven confirmed scorers? No: the ledger names six goalscorers only where it can, and leaves the 52nd-minute scorer unnamed. The scoreboard, at least, had no such uncertainty.
