Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Hal Ston County scored three from an xG of 2.68, while Colch United also scored three from 2.74. Both sides therefore finished marginally above their chance-quality estimates, with no meaningful gulf between the quality of opportunities they produced. The shot counts were close, too: Hal Ston County had 13 attempts, nine on target, and Colch United had 12, with 10 on target. Colch United held more possession and completed passes more accurately, while Hal Ston County made the most of a smaller share of the ball. The figures describe an unusually balanced exchange: the visitors edged the underlying measures, but neither side found a way to turn that edge into separation.

The final 3-3 score fairly reflected a contest in which neither team could keep an advantage for long. Hal Ston County went two goals ahead before Julio Cortes pulled one back just before half-time; Ivan Cvetković then brought Colch United level after the interval. Ibrahim’s second goal again tilted the match toward the hosts, but Cvetković answered three minutes later. Colch United’s 18 dribbles to Hal Ston County’s four and its 57 per cent possession show how the visitors carried the ball and controlled more of it. Hal Ston County, meanwhile, remained productive without needing to dominate the passing figures. The result was a draw with six goals and no final authority: each side found a response, and neither found a lock.
