Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: St Cord City’s three goals came from an xG of 3.13, a near-exact return, while Chames scored once from 1.87 xG and therefore finished below the chances’ estimated value. The shot figures sharpen the contrast: St Cord City put 12 of 13 attempts on target, while Chames put seven of eight on target. Both sides found a way to test the goal with unusual regularity; the hosts converted their pressure into goals more effectively, and the visitors’ one-goal return left a substantial gap between opportunity and outcome. With possession level at 50% apiece, this was not a matter of one side simply keeping the ball out of reach. St Cord City’s advantage was more direct: they made their attacks count, including a response only two minutes after falling behind.

The first half changed shape quickly. Willi Schneider gave Chames the lead in the 17th minute, but Friedrich Unger levelled almost at once, assisted by Khadim Diakhate. Lindomar Da Silva, set up by Pedro Guzman, then put St Cord City ahead before the half-hour had much time to become a landmark. Unger’s second, assisted by Da Silva, settled the result in the 70th minute. Chames had enough attempts on target to remain a threat, but St Cord City’s three goals across that sequence of turning points gave the visitors too much ground to recover.

• Chames had no players rated 7.0 or higher.
