Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Egreek scored eight from 3.17 xG, an extraordinary overperformance of 4.83 goals; Marn Albion scored once from 0.36 xG, also finishing above the chance-quality estimate. The disparity in opportunity was stark: Egreek had 13 shots, 12 on target, while Marn Albion managed one shot, also on target. The hosts’ finishing was far beyond what their chances would ordinarily suggest, but the volume and accuracy of those attempts made the result more than a statistical prank. Marn Albion had slightly more possession and five corners to Egreek’s one, yet neither measure translated into meaningful shooting output.

• No Marn Albion players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The late goal from Philippe Robert, assisted by Pedro Chagas, gave Marn Albion something to take from the final minute, though not enough to alter the evening’s basic arithmetic. Egreek scored in several waves, with Kiyoshi Aoki, Koji Imura and Ivane Abuladze central to the damage; the hosts’ last two goals arrived at 84 and 88 minutes, after the contest had long ceased to be in doubt. For Marn Albion, the 51 per cent possession and five corners are the small print beside a single shot. For Egreek, eight goals from 13 attempts is the headline, and an unusually generous one even by the standards of a game that kept finding another way to make the scoreline larger.
