Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Soldins Park scored three from an xG of 4.23, finishing below the chance-quality estimate by 1.23 goals. That is less a complaint than evidence of how much attacking opportunity the hosts created: they registered 18 shots, 16 on target, while Malleover managed two attempts and one on target. The visitors, by contrast, scored once from 0.41 xG, exceeding their estimate by 0.59. Their 53% possession and higher pass accuracy did not translate into a comparable volume of chances, while Soldins Park turned a smaller share of the ball into a much more direct stream of pressure. The scoreboard settled at 3-1; the underlying figures suggest the hosts might reasonably have expected an even wider margin.

• No Malleover players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The first 25 minutes provided the decisive stretch. Paolo Negri opened the scoring in the fourth minute, Leo Butković doubled the lead eight minutes later, and Alfredo Delgado made it three before Malleover had time to restore much order. Marin Brajković answered promptly, at 28 minutes, giving the visitors a goal to carry into the remainder of the match. The two yellow cards, to Seydina Samb and Yvon Gillet, arrived at 45 and 71 minutes; neither changed the scoreline.

For Soldins Park, this was a comfortable win by the final margin, though the xG gap suggests the hosts left further reward on the table. Malleover’s possession and dribbling totals show that the visitors had spells on the ball and were willing to carry it, but two shots across the match made sustained attacking pressure difficult to establish. The result was Soldins Park 3-1 Malleover: an early burst did the heavy lifting, and the shot count spent the rest of the afternoon confirming who had made the more convincing case.
