Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Haver United scored once from 1.13 xG, a slight underperformance by the chance-quality estimate. Dary St Ann’s five goals from 4.33 xG put them 0.67 above that measure: clinical finishing, though not an implausible departure from the chances created. The shot count gives the clearest tactical outline. Dary registered 22 attempts, 14 on target, while Haver managed five, with four on target. Haver’s 54% possession did not translate into sustained threat; Dary’s 46% came with far more attacking volume and, eventually, a scoreline that left little room for debate.

The opening goal gave Haver United the lead after eight minutes, with Arlindo Gonçalves finishing Xinping Boon’s assist. That advantage lasted only four minutes: Thomas Mouritsen levelled for Dary St Ann, and the visitors carried the match into a different shape. Eder De Lima put Dary ahead before half-time, assisted by Carlos Mendes. The sequence mattered as much as the score: Haver had made the first mark, but Dary answered quickly and then took the lead into the break.

After the interval, Dary’s advantage grew rather than merely held. Mouritsen scored again in the 75th minute, once more supplied by Mendes, before Zoran Božić added a fourth six minutes later. Two minutes after that, Carlos Mendes completed the scoring, assisted by Mouritsen. The final 5-1 reflects both the visitors’ greater volume of chances and their ability to turn those chances into goals; Haver’s possession and early breakthrough could not keep pace. For Dary St Ann, it was a commanding away win with several contributors. For Haver United, the first goal was a promising beginning, followed by a long afternoon in which the ball’s location proved more consequential than its ownership.
