The match was characterized by a dominant possession advantage for Bexhith, who controlled the tempo with 59% of the ball and an impressive 85% pass accuracy. Their xG of 1.19 slightly outperformed their actual goal tally, indicating a degree of efficiency in front of goal. Hawley, on the other hand, struggled to impose themselves, managing only 41% possession and a modest xG of 0.79, which they failed to capitalize on despite having three shots on target. The visitors’ discipline was notably lacking, receiving four yellow cards, which disrupted their rhythm and allowed the hosts to exploit space and create multiple scoring opportunities. The game’s flow was punctuated by tactical fouling from Hawley, as evidenced by their 15 fouls, yet they could not prevent Unger’s early goal or the subsequent surge from the home side.

As the game progressed, Bexhith maintained control, with goals from Unger, Pinto, and Fischer sealing the victory. Unger’s first came from a Lindomar Da Silva assist, setting the tone, while his second was a well-placed finish from Luis Pinto’s pass. Pinto’s goal further cemented the home team’s dominance, and Fischer’s late strike added gloss to the scoreline. Hawley’s only reply came from Philippe Robert, assisted by Willi Schneider, but their efforts were ultimately hampered by their inability to maintain discipline and create sustained pressure. The yellow cards to Ivanišević, Lemoine, and Lewis reflected a frustrating day for Hawley’s players, who struggled to find cohesion amid the chaos.

Hawley’s players failed to reach the 7.0 mark, with discipline issues and limited attacking threat hampering their efforts.
