Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Newand Brigh’s five goals came from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 4.54 xG, a modest over-performance that sits comfortably alongside 16 shots on target from 21 attempts. Nunth Villa scored once from 1.13 xG, also finishing slightly ahead of the estimate, but had only five shots in total. The figures point to a match shaped less by a single clinical spell than by Newand Brigh’s sustained volume: 60% possession and a 16-4 advantage in shots on target gave the hosts many more opportunities to make their superiority count. The visitors did find a goal in the first half, but the wider chance balance left them with little room to turn that moment into a contest.

The 2-1 score at the interval had offered Nunth Villa a foothold after Jorge Alvez answered Newand Brigh’s early opener. That foothold did not become a bridge back into the match. Newand Brigh resumed scoring after the break, with Masayuki Onishi and Zdenko Simić both adding to their totals before Onishi struck again at 73 minutes. The three home yellow cards were a small note of disorder in a performance that otherwise kept its shape; both sides committed eight fouls and made eight tackles.

For Newand Brigh, the result was a convincing return on an afternoon of territorial control and repeated attempts, with the five goals arriving across both halves rather than in one brief burst. Nunth Villa did score and recorded four shots on target from its five attempts, but that efficiency could not compensate for the gulf in volume. A 5-1 result is emphatic enough without requiring embellishment: the hosts made more chances, converted them often, and left the visitors with a difficult afternoon’s arithmetic.
