The match’s hinge came just after the break. Chaven United’s lead lasted until Ashraf Atef levelled in the 47th minute, with Xinping Boon providing the assist; five minutes later, Gustavo Pimentel put Easlebden ahead, assisted by Raul Ferreyra. That quick reversal converted Easlebden’s greater share of possession and vastly larger shot count into the advantage the match statistics had been hinting at. Chaven United did win more corners, 4-2, but the visitors’ count of zero shots makes those set-piece opportunities a slim branch of the overall story.

Easlebden then had to manage the game through two home yellow cards, one for Raul Ferreyra and another for Guram Guseinov, with Pedro Guzman booked for Chaven United between them. The late goal from Pimentel, assisted by Brian Pedersen, settled the score at 3-1 and gave the hosts a more comfortable finish than the one-goal lead had offered. The final margin was not as large as Easlebden’s xG advantage suggested it might be, but the visitors’ lone goal and the hosts’ 23 attempts tell a clear story of contrasting attacking output.
