Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Marre United recorded 4.13 xG and scored three, finishing below the chance-quality estimate despite producing 20 shots, 14 of them on target. That shortfall helps explain why a match with such a pronounced volume advantage remained alive until the last listed minute. Foweley Villa, by contrast, scored twice from 0.83 xG and only three shots, all on target: an efficient return that made each attempt count, if not quite enough to carry the result. The figures suggest the hosts created the more substantial attacking threat, while the visitors made a remarkably sharp use of a limited supply. Nine corners for Marre United and none for Foweley Villa underline the difference in territorial pressure; the scoreboard, less impressed by the volume of paperwork, stayed close until Bourke's late goal.

• Pedro Ferreira, Bruno Rossi, Karl Bourke, Xinping Boon and Saliou Sow did not reach a recorded rating of 7.0 for Marre United.
• Nilson Pires (7.3) - Scored Foweley Villa's opener and assisted Philippe Robert for the second, making a decisive contribution to both of the visitors' goals.

For Marre United, the result came with the expected reward for sustained pressure, but not the comfortable margin that 4.13 xG and 14 shots on target might have suggested. Three yellow cards also marked a more untidy side to the hosts' afternoon, while Foweley Villa managed to keep the contest in reach with very little attacking volume. The visitors' 15 dribbles, more than the hosts' 12, offered one route forward, but their three shots left little room for error. At 2-2 after Rossi's 73rd-minute goal, the final word went to Bourke at 90 minutes. Marre United therefore finished with a 3-2 win that reflected its greater chance creation, while Foweley Villa left with a scoreline that rather generously acknowledged how efficiently it had taken its chances.
