The match was largely decided in the first half, with Prutsfor Villa taking a commanding lead by the 30th minute. Abdoulaye Sow opened the scoring with a well-placed finish after a precise pass from Jorge Baptista at 24'. Not long after, Muhamed Šabić doubled the advantage, capitalizing on Brewelles’ defensive lapses at 30'. The visitors, meanwhile, appeared to be caught in a defensive fog, as their only notable moment was a yellow card to John Bailey in the 9th minute, and they failed to threaten the Villa goal at all. The second half saw Saturnino Cardoso add two more goals, at 78' and 90', both set up by teammates, sealing the game with a display of Villa’s attacking ruthlessness. Brewelles’ discipline was evident in their 12 fouls and two yellow cards, but their lack of attacking intent was the real story.
Tactically, Prutsfor Villa demonstrated patience and precision, with an xG of 4.08, nearly matching their actual goals. Their high shot count—18 attempts with 15 on target—showed their willingness to test the goalkeeper, and their conversion rate was impressive. Brewelles, on the other hand, managed a minuscule 0.01 xG, underscoring their inability to threaten the Villa goal. The game was a textbook example of how efficiency and finishing can turn possession and shots into a commanding victory, even when the overall stats are relatively balanced. The visitors’ defensive lapses and lack of offensive ideas left them exposed, and Villa’s clinical finishing made them pay.
For Brewelles, no player reached the 7.0 mark, reflecting their struggles throughout the match.
