The game’s key moments unfolded early and often. At just four minutes, Branko Bartolić opened the scoring with a well-placed finish, assisted by Philippe Robert, setting the tone for what would become a one-sided affair. Sourstch continued to press, with Nilson Pires doubling the lead at the 25th minute, aided by Pedro Chagas, whose yellow card shortly after hinted at the physical nature of the visitors’ approach. The visitors’ attacking trio, led by Branko Bartolić, Nilson Pires, and Philippe Robert, kept the pressure on, with Robert orchestrating three assists and the others converting their chances. The hosts’ defensive discipline was further tested by the visitors’ 16 dribbles and high pass accuracy, but they could not stem the tide. The game’s final acts saw Sourstch add three more goals in quick succession, sealing the match comfortably before the final whistle.

Tactically, Sourstch’s xG of 3.05 suggests they were slightly over-efficient, but their actual goals tally of five confirms their finishing was sharp. The hosts’ xG of 1.96 indicates they created some opportunities but lacked the clinical edge, which was evident in their 7 shots on target against the visitors’ perfect 12. Sourstch’s possession advantage (60%) and superior pass accuracy (87%) translated into a steady stream of dangerous attacks, while Tetton’s 9 fouls and 13 tackles reflected a defensive effort that ultimately proved insufficient. The game was a textbook example of how control and precision can outmatch effort and desperation, especially when the finishing is on point.
