Their high shot volume was backed by a solid pass accuracy of 84%, allowing them to maintain pressure and create multiple scoring opportunities. Helmut Fischer opened the scoring at 17', capitalizing on a rare lapse in the Ottergand Stanley defence. The hosts responded with a goal from Philippe Robert in the 37th minute, assisted by Michel Lemoine, but the visitors’ resilience was evident as Fritz Lehmann scored twice in quick succession, first at 49' and again at 80', sealing the game. The tactical battle was marred by a series of fouls and bookings, with the hosts receiving three yellow cards, including one to Jorge Alvez early on.

In tactical terms, Bedock’s ability to generate high-quality chances was reflected in their xG of 2.83, significantly outperforming Ottergand Stanley’s 1.03. This disparity underscores how Bedock’s shot volume and positioning translated into goals, despite Ottergand Stanley’s respectable defensive efforts, including 12 saves. The hosts’ possession was marginally less, but their 15 corners suggest they pushed for an equalizer late in the game, though their efforts were ultimately thwarted. Bedock’s disciplined approach, combined with their clinical finishing, was the key to their victory, demonstrating that in football, persistence and shot volume often outweigh possession and defensive resilience.

No Ottergand Stanley player reached the 7.0 mark, reflecting a generally subdued offensive display.
