The match was largely dictated by Welet Albion’s offensive persistence and tactical discipline. The hosts created nearly four times the chance quality of their opponents, with an xG of 3.78 compared to Rangers’ 0.41. Albion’s goal in the fifth minute from Stanko Ninković set the tone early, and despite a yellow card for Ninković in the 21st minute, Albion maintained their attacking intent. Rangers struggled to get into the game, managing only a single shot on target and a solitary goal in the 89th minute through Philippe Robert, assisted by Pedro Chagas. Albion’s ability to dominate possession and create high-quality chances was evident, and their finishing was efficient enough to turn their dominance into a comfortable victory.

Defensively, Rangers were outmatched, with their goalkeeper making 15 saves—more than double Albion’s total shots on target—and their limited attacking output was underpinned by a lack of penetration. Albion’s tactical approach, combined with their disciplined pressing and passing accuracy (83%), allowed them to control the game from start to finish. Rangers’ two yellow cards, including one for Michel Lemoine at 31 minutes, reflected their frustration and inability to contain Albion’s relentless pressure. The final scoreline, while flattering to Albion, accurately reflects the game’s flow and the disparity in chance creation.
