Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Taven Thistle at 0.11 xG and Witcheles at 3.07. Against the final score of 0 - 7, that means Taven Thistle finished 0.11 goals below its estimate, while Witcheles scored 3.93 more than its estimate. The visitors’ 12 shots on target from 12 attempts indicate an exceptionally productive day in front of goal; the seven-goal return went well beyond what the xG total alone would suggest. Taven Thistle held 52 per cent possession, but one shot and no attempts on target show how little that possession translated into threat. The difference was not simply who had more of the ball, but who made their attacks count.

The score had reached 2 - 0 by the 25th minute, then Witcheles added three more goals before the hour and two after it. Osama Fawzy, Gabriel Mendes and Mirsad Jurić each scored twice, while Manuel Fernandes contributed a goal and two assists. That spread of scoring and creation kept Witcheles dangerous throughout, rather than leaving the afternoon to one forward’s finishing. For Taven Thistle, seven corners and slightly greater possession offered little compensation: there was no shot on target to turn either into a genuine test. Witcheles were more accurate in the decisive area, and the 0 - 7 result records the scale of that advantage without needing assistance from the arithmetic.
