The game’s narrative was shaped early on by a yellow card to Sould City Felisberto Lima in the third minute, setting a combative tone. The visitors struck first in the 28th minute through Ababacar Kasse, who finished a neat assist from Petar Petkov. The hosts responded with a goal from Xinping Boon in the 83rd minute, assisted by Luis Pinto, but it was too little, too late. Sould City maintained their advantage with goals from Norbert Fischer in the 65th minute—after a yellow card for him earlier—and Sabahudin Milanović in the 72nd minute, assisted by Souleymane Ba. The visitors’ shot volume was impressive, with 12 attempts and 11 on target, far exceeding the home side’s five shots, all on target. The xG figures—1.28 for Horks County and 2.88 for Sould City—underline the visitors’ efficiency, as they converted more of their chances into goals than the numbers might suggest.

The tactical picture revealed a game of possession dominance for the hosts, who held 57%, but they struggled to convert their control into meaningful scoring opportunities. Sould City’s 43% possession was deceptive; their high shot count and xG reflect a sharp, counter-attacking approach that kept the home team on the back foot. Defensively, both sides tackled equally, but Sould City’s disciplined pressing and clinical finishing ultimately decided the outcome. The game’s yellow cards—two for Sould City and one for Horks County—added a layer of tension, but neither side saw red. The home team’s goalkeeper made 12 saves, a testament to the visitors’ relentless attacking, while Sould City’s goalkeeper made eight saves, highlighting the home side’s stubbornness in front of goal.
