Shilley Athletic’s dominance in shots and xG was clear from the outset. They fired off 20 shots with 16 on target, compared to Henckton’s modest six attempts and five on target. The xG figures—4.43 for Shilley Athletic versus 1.39 for Henckton—highlight how the visitors’ finishing was more clinical than their hosts’ efforts. The game’s flow was punctuated by goals from Morales, Sow, Rossi, Berthelsen, and Ivanišević, with Rossi’s contribution earning him a 7.3 rating. Henckton’s goals from Michel Lemoine and Zdravko Ivanišević were more about resilience than dominance, as they struggled to match the visitors’ attacking quality.

Tactically, Shilley Athletic’s ability to create high-quality chances was complemented by their disciplined pressing, as reflected in their 11 tackles to Henckton’s five. Despite the possession being fairly evenly split (52%-48%), the visitors’ sharper finishing and more aggressive approach in the final third made the difference. Henckton’s goalkeeper made 15 saves, indicating a busy day, yet the defensive gaps were exploited repeatedly. The late goal from Ivanišević was a small consolation in a game that showcased the visitors’ attacking prowess and the hosts’ valiant but ultimately insufficient efforts.

Henckton’s top performers failed to reach the 7.0 mark, but Michel Lemoine’s goal and the effort of the goalkeeper kept the scoreline respectable.
