For Cary Stry, the defeat will be difficult to square with the volume of chances and the 3.92 xG; the numbers point to an attack that created plenty but did not convert enough. Hawkin-Thor had fewer openings by both measures, yet turned their five shots on target into three goals and left with the win. The hosts twice drew level, through Nedelcho Dimitrov and Luis Pinto, but Nilson Pires struck five minutes after the second equaliser to settle the contest. Cary Stry had the broader attacking workload; Hawkin-Thor had the more productive finish. It is a tidy illustration of the gap between creating chances and making the result obey them.
