The first two goals arrived before the match had settled into any respectable rhythm, leaving Walley Wanderers chasing a two-goal deficit after seven minutes. Jose Patiño extended the lead before the break, and the late pair from Joao Ribeiro turned a decisive result into a five-goal one. The visitors did have more dribbles, 10 to six, and their five shots were not all harmless; four reached the target. But they were outshot heavily, made fewer tackles and completed fewer passes accurately. Bothes therefore had more than one route to control: possession, pressure and the rather useful habit of converting chances. A 5-0 score can make the match seem entirely one-way; the xG and shots on target keep the account honest, while the finishing explains why the points were not in doubt by the end.
