Stere 1 - 9 Ston Rangers

The first two minutes offered Stere a brief and promising plot: Xinping Boon scored from Friedrich Unger’s assist, before the match’s balance shifted decisively. Phillip Lewis levelled in the 18th minute, then assisted Yacouba Gohi two minutes later. Zdravko Ivanišević made it 3-1 before half-time, and Ston Rangers carried on after the break. Adelino Mendes Furtado scored twice, Lewis completed a hat-trick, and Gohi and Younghoon Koo added goals of their own. For Stere, the opening strike remained their only shot on target after that early burst of hope.

The xG figures put the scale of the result in sharper focus. Ston Rangers scored nine from 4.95 xG, an overperformance of 4.05 goals; Stere scored once from 0.79 xG, 0.21 above the estimate. The visitors created far more, with 22 shots to three and 18 efforts on target to Stere’s three, so the chance volume supports the broad shape of the score. But nine goals from an xG estimate just shy of five also means Ston Rangers finished with exceptional efficiency. Possession was comparatively close at 53% to 47%; this was not simply a matter of holding the ball, but of turning attacks into attempts and attempts into goals. Five corners apiece provide an unusually level footnote to an otherwise very lopsided afternoon.

Phillip Lewis led the visitors’ scoring with three goals and two assists, earning a 9.4 rating. Gohi, Furtado and Koo each rated 7.3, contributing two goals, two goals and one goal respectively, with Koo also assisting. Stere had no player recorded at 7.0 or above. The nine-goal margin is conclusive; the shot count explains how Ston Rangers built it, while the finishing explains why the score went further still than the chance estimate suggested.
