Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Souryne Rangers scored six from 5.34 xG, finishing slightly above the chance-quality estimate without needing a statistical miracle to explain the margin. Rydowle Villa recorded 0.36 xG and scored none, leaving little suggestion that the score concealed a missed opportunity to make the contest close. The shot count tells much of the tactical story: 23 attempts for the visitors, 20 on target, against just two attempts and one on target for the hosts. Possession was 51% to 49% in Rydowle Villa’s favour, but the ball’s address book was evidently not the same thing as its itinerary. Souryne Rangers made its possession count through repeated attacks and pressure, while Rydowle Villa had little attacking volume to turn its accurate passing into a threat.

The first two goals, both finished by Fernando Martins from Francisco Rodriguez’s service, put Souryne Rangers in control before the break. Siwoo Im added a third two minutes into the second half, then completed his hat-trick with two more goals as the visitors kept converting their dominance into something the scoreboard could not politely ignore. Francisco Rodriguez capped the afternoon with the sixth, assisted by Fernando Martins. Rydowle Villa had the greater possession share, more dribbles and greater pass accuracy, but none of those figures could compensate for the gulf in shots on target. The match was not short on effort from the hosts; it was short on occasions that might have changed the result.
