Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

Sward recorded 3.17 xG and scored twice, finishing 1.17 goals below the chance-quality estimate. Ashount Stanley scored four from 2.06 xG, outperforming its estimate by 1.94. Those figures describe a clear contrast: Sward created the greater volume and quality of chances, while the visitors were markedly more clinical with fewer attempts. All eight of Ashount Stanley’s shots were on target, and that accuracy helped make their efficient finishing decisive. Sward had 11 shots on target from 15 attempts, but the difference between getting a shot goalward and getting it past the keeper was the afternoon’s most consequential detail.

Sward: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Ashount Stanley:

• Philippe Robert (7.8) - Scored once and assisted twice, contributing directly to three of the visitors’ four goals.
• Nilson Pires (7.3) - Scored the late fourth and assisted Pedro Chagas before that.

The scoreline rewards Ashount Stanley for turning its best moments into goals, especially the two strikes just before half-time that moved the match firmly in the visitors’ direction. Sward showed enough attacking threat to make the 2-4 result feel at odds with the chance figures, but the numbers do not change the result: the hosts finished two goals short, while Ashount Stanley left with four and the win.
