For Woodmools Town, the central fact is the gap between the chances made and the goals collected. Seventeen efforts on target and 4.57 xG ordinarily offer a side a persuasive route to more than two, but the ledger records a draw, not a reward for persuasive arithmetic. Walvilter had fewer attempts and less xG, yet scored twice, first through Yvon Adams and later through Bruno Rossi, with Saliou Sow and Paul Beaudoin providing the recorded assists. The visitors’ 52 per cent possession and superior pass accuracy accompanied a more modest shot count; neither measure alone tells the whole story, which is why football continues to resist tidy spreadsheets.

The late yellow card to Sangwook Jung was the second booking recorded for Woodmools Town, but there is no further event in the ledger to suggest it altered the result. Walvilter leave with a point after converting a smaller share of the match’s overall chance quality into goals, while Woodmools Town must settle for a point despite the more prolific attacking return in shots and expected goals. The 2 - 2 draw is exact in its score and rather less exact in its proportions: two goals apiece, with the chances distributed on notably different terms.
