Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Wandsombe Stanley scored once from 1.57 xG, finishing 0.57 goals below the chance-quality estimate. Hilshalvenle scored three from 2.39 xG, outperforming it by 0.61. The difference was not simply a matter of who had the ball: Wandsombe held 54% possession and attempted 14 dribbles to Hilshalvenle’s six, but the visitors put nine of their ten shots on target. That accuracy gave the away side a more direct route to danger, while Wandsombe’s greater share of possession did not translate into enough shots to match it. Hilshalvenle also made their early advantage count, scoring at 2' and 26' before Wandsombe’s reply at 66' briefly reopened the contest. Bruno Rossi’s goal at 76' restored the two-goal margin and settled the shape of the afternoon.

No players from Wandsombe Stanley or Hilshalvenle reached a recorded rating of 7.0 or higher. The scoreline supplied its own clear distinction between the sides, but the available ratings do not identify individual standouts.

For Wandsombe Stanley, the figures describe a side that spent more time on the ball and tried more often to carry it forward, but paid for a less controlled contest without it. Nineteen fouls against Hilshalvenle’s eight and eight tackles against the visitors’ 15 suggest the hosts had to interrupt play more often than they could win it cleanly. The three yellow cards were not a match-changing storm of discipline, but Wandsombe collected two of them, with Philippe Robert booked early and Nilson Pires late.

Hilshalvenle’s 3-1 win was built on a simple, effective contrast: less possession, more shots on target, and enough defensive work to keep Wandsombe from turning control of the ball into control of the result. Wandsombe did get a goal back through Pedro Chagas, assisted by Jorge Alvez, but Bruno Rossi’s response came ten minutes later. The final score stands at 3-1 to Hilshalvenle; the visitors took their chances more efficiently, and the hosts were left with the possession figures rather than the points.
