Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Soughle Town 0.46 xG and Crom Spromfor 4.33. Against those figures, the hosts’ two goals were a substantial overperformance, while the visitors’ three represented an underperformance of more than a goal. The shot count helps explain the gap between the teams’ attacking opportunities: Crom Spromfor managed 19 shots, 16 on target, while Soughle Town had two, with one on target. The visitors created far more, and their three goals were enough to win, though not enough to match the chances they fashioned. Soughle Town were exceptionally clinical by the numbers; the numbers, in turn, were not much impressed by the number of times they were asked to watch.

No players from either side recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

Crom Spromfor took control of the scoring before half-time, with goals from Jongil Baek, Joonsup Yun and Mustafa Galal turning Soughle Town’s early lead into a 3-1 deficit. The hosts did find a second through Phillip Lewis after the break, assisted by Jorge Alvez, and the final margin was only one. Yet the late goal could not erase the scale of the visitors’ advantage in shots and chances. Soughle Town made the contest look closer on the scoreboard than it was in the underlying numbers; Crom Spromfor leave with the points, and with a modest case that three goals were a rather restrained return.
