Small sample: one match proves nothing.How we judge this
FotMob referee figures are a snapshot captured when the match was fetched, not a historical record frozen at kick-off. “Fewer”, “about usual”, and “more” use an 80% Poisson band: expected count ± 1.28 × √expected. The whistle test compares match fouls with the referee average; the pocket test scales the referee's yellow-card rate to this match's foul count.

- East Bengal’s 2.65 expected‑goals (xG) shows they had chances worth roughly 2 ½ goals, and they turned them into 4 real goals – a clear sign that their shots were not only more frequent but also higher quality; Churchill Brothers, with just 0.45 xG, failed to score any of their 13 shots.
- Despite a modest 53 % possession advantage, East Bengal produced 21 shots versus Churchill’s 13, with 14 of those inside the box and 13 on target compared to Churchill’s 4 inside‑box shots and only 2 on target – a 13‑to‑2 on‑target ratio that explains the scoreline.
- Passing numbers were close (443 vs 400), yet East Bengal delivered 372 accurate passes out of 446 (≈83 % accuracy) versus Churchill’s 321 of 400 (≈80 %); the extra accurate passes helped them create the higher‑quality chances reflected in their xG.
- The team that generated more big chances (East Bengal’s 4 vs Churchill’s 2) also recorded more corners (3 vs 1) and offsides (5 vs 2), indicating a more aggressive attacking style that translated into the four‑goal haul.
- Star striker Bipin Singh Thounaojam’s two goals (rating 8.92) came from 4 shots, far above the team’s expected 0.7 xG for him, showing a player who capitalized exceptionally well on the quality chances the side created.
