Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Soun Stanley at 0.56 xG and Soury Rovers at 3.49. Stanley scored once from two shots, converting a small return into a goal; Rovers scored six, substantially exceeding an xG that was already more than enough to suggest a dangerous attacking performance. The visitors’ 18 shots, including 11 on target, show how often they made the possession count in the areas where it matters. Stanley had 54% of the ball and six corners, but only two attempts overall. Those figures point to a clear divide between having the ball and turning it into meaningful chances. Rovers were more clinical than the estimate alone would predict, while Stanley had too little shooting volume to build a route back into the match.

The first half set the scale of the afternoon. Fu Kurokawa opened the scoring, then assisted Francisco Solis five minutes later; late goals from Edison Fernandez and Hojin Goh took Rovers to 4-0 before the break. Nilson Pires scored for Stanley three minutes into the second half, a brief interruption to the visitors’ control rather than a change in direction. Solis completed his hat-trick with goals at 58 and 75 minutes. Rovers finished with six goals from six different scoring moments, and the last half-hour became an exercise in keeping the arithmetic tidy.

The 6-1 scoreline is emphatic, and the underlying numbers make it difficult to argue with. Stanley passed more accurately and held more possession, but the visitors had nine times as many shots and five times as many on target. Three yellow cards also arrived for the hosts before the interval, as Rovers were already building a lead their chance creation would have justified even without the finishing run. Soury Rovers leave with a convincing win; Soun Stanley have the rather less satisfying consolation of knowing the ball was often at their feet.
