Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Woolvedhull scored four from 1.85 xG, substantially exceeding the chance-quality estimate; Scasley scored twice from 2.18 xG, finishing just below its projected total. That gap tells a useful part of the story: Scasley generated more shots, more efforts on target and more corners, but Woolvedhull made a greater share of its opportunities count. The hosts’ 52% possession was only a slim edge, not a spell of overwhelming control, and the scoreline owes plenty to finishing rather than a decisive advantage in volume. In football, arithmetic is a helpful witness, though it has no authority to overturn the result.

The first half supplied most of the match’s sudden turns. Woolvedhull went ahead in the fourth minute, Scasley replied twice to lead by the 25th, and Philippe Robert levelled six minutes later. The second half was less crowded with goals, but more conclusive: Phillip Lewis put Woolvedhull in front on 62 minutes, then Michael Brown added the fourth seven minutes from time. Two yellow cards, one for each club, were the only cautions recorded; the match had plenty of movement without the disciplinary ledger becoming a separate contest.

• No Scasley player recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

Woolvedhull leave with a 4-2 victory despite being out-shot 11-9 and producing the lower xG. The home side’s return from its chances was the difference, with Philippe Robert central to the turnaround and Phillip Lewis and Michael Brown supplying the later goals. Scasley had enough attacking activity to make a closer result plausible, but the match was settled by what each side did with its openings, not by how many it collected.
