Sudlach Park 5 - 0 Otton Athletic

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Sudlach Park at 3.99 xG and Otton Athletic at 0.46. Five goals from 3.99 xG means Sudlach Park finished above the expected return, while Otton Athletic’s single goal would have been above its estimate; in reality, the visitors managed only three shots and one on target. The hosts’ 15 shots on target from 17 attempts give the scoreline a solid statistical footing, while the near-even 51–49 possession split shows that control of the ball was not the main distinction. The difference was what each side did with its attacks: Sudlach Park repeatedly tested the goal, and Otton Athletic rarely did.

The first goal arrived after two minutes, and Sudlach Park added another on the stroke of half-time before pulling further clear in the second half. Žarko Todorović assisted the goals at 68 and 76 minutes, giving his contribution a clear place in the afternoon’s work. Otton Athletic had more corners and more dribbles, but neither measure translated into enough threat to change the course of the match. Three yellow cards for Sudlach Park and one for Otton Athletic made for a slightly untidy edge; the result, by contrast, was unusually tidy.
