Meanwhile, Baweseyn Villa’s 14 shots on target from 18 attempts translated into three goals, with their expected goals tally sitting at 3.93 against the hosts’ 0.93. The visitors’ clinical finishing, combined with disciplined defending and a handful of yellow cards, allowed them to capitalize on their opportunities.
