The game’s key moments revolved around Michael Brown’s brace, which effectively sealed the result before the hour mark. His goal in the 34th minute, assisted by Allan Carroll, was a textbook opener, followed by a yellow card for Birfiel Park’s Pedro Chagas shortly after. Brown’s subsequent booking at the 50th minute did little to slow him down, as he returned to score again in the 75th minute, assisted by Phillip Lewis. The final goal, scored by Petar Mihaylov in the 80th minute with an assist from Jose Martins, underscored Faidcombord’s dominance. Birfiel Park’s efforts were hampered by discipline issues, notably yellow cards to Pedro Chagas and Michel Lemoine, and their limited goal threat was reflected in their xG of just 1.96.

Statistically, Faidcombord’s superiority was clear: they registered 19 shots, with 16 on target, and created an expected goals tally of 4.33. Their passing accuracy remained high at 83%, and their ability to maintain possession was marginally better than Birfiel Park’s, at 51%. Birfiel Park, despite having more dribbles (11 to 4), struggled to convert their chances, with only 9 shots and 7 on target, and a lower xG of 1.96. The visitors’ discipline was also lacking, with nine fouls and two yellow cards, which perhaps contributed to their inability to mount a serious challenge. The home side’s defensive resilience was evident, with 15 saves made, and their attacking efficiency was reflected in the goal tally.

Nobody from Birfiel Park reached the 7.0 threshold, reflecting their struggles across the pitch.
