Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Kend Con scored four from 4.38 xG, a slight underperformance against the quality of the chances created. Malestley Villa scored three from 1.5 xG, finishing at twice its estimated chance value. The shot count helps explain the contrast: the hosts registered 18 attempts, 17 on target, while the visitors had seven attempts and five on target. Kend Con built the larger body of pressure without owning possession, and eventually converted enough of that pressure to win. Malestley Villa were much more clinical per chance, but the visitors’ efficiency could not compensate for the hosts’ repeated threat across the match.

The match’s shape changed sharply after Malestley Villa had established a 2-0 lead through Zdravko Ivanišević and Michel Lemoine. Kend Con responded with goals from Pedro Chagas and Philippe Robert in a three-minute burst, only for Michel Lemoine to restore the visitors’ lead at 78'. The hosts still had the last word: Pedro Chagas levelled in the 85th minute, then Phillip Lewis completed the 4-3 win in the 89th.

For Kend Con, the result came from persistence and volume rather than control of the ball; 47% possession was enough when paired with 17 shots on target and a late surge. Malestley Villa had the more efficient scoring return and led twice, but could not protect the advantage in the closing stages. A 4-3 scoreline leaves little room for a quiet finish, and these sides declined to seek one.
