The report
The opening goal arrived after just two minutes, when Richard Stone finished a move assisted by Osvaldo Da Cruz. Khachishvili struck in the 24th and 29th minutes, and Da Cruz added Garaircot’s fourth before the half-hour had fully given up pretending. Khachishvili completed his treble in the 37th minute. After the break, Ivan Cvetković made it six in the 72nd minute and Mauricio Avila completed the scoring five minutes later. Mirkhath had 53% possession, but managed only one shot, none on target, and 0.11 xG. The ball spent more time with the visitors than their attack did near a conclusion.
The chance-quality estimate puts Garaircot at 3.16 xG against seven actual goals: a substantial overperformance, built on converting 12 of 13 shots on target into a remarkable return. That finishing exceeded what the chances would ordinarily suggest, though the volume and accuracy of the attempts gave the scoreline a firm foundation. Mirkhath’s 0.11 xG and single shot tell the other side of the tactical story: possession and dribbling (11 to Garaircot’s seven) did not translate into danger. Garaircot needed only 47% of the ball to produce a relentless attack; Mirkhath’s share was mostly a statistic with no accompanying threat.

Mirkhath No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
The final margin was emphatic, and the numbers explain why without requiring possession to be mistaken for control. Garaircot’s seven goals came from a first-half burst and a composed return after the interval; Mirkhath, despite having more of the ball and making more dribbles and tackles, never put a shot on target. The scoreline is 7 - 0, the xG gap was already wide, and Garaircot’s finishing widened it into a result that left little room for ambiguity.
