The game’s narrative was largely written in the first half, where Selwes United’s attacking trio of Gallo, Da Silva, and Holm repeatedly tested the home side’s defensive resolve. Despite a possession split of 49% to 51%, the visitors’ 20 shots on target compared to Redon’s five, and an xG of 5.43 against 1.38, paints a picture of dominance. Gallo’s opening goal in the 32nd minute set the tone, followed by Da Silva’s double before halftime. Holm’s goal after the break cemented the visitors’ control, with Monteiro adding a late flourish. Redon’s goal in the 77th minute, scored by Pedro Chagas, was a rare bright spot in an otherwise lopsided affair, but it did little to alter the outcome.
Tactically, Selwes United’s high shot volume and sharp finishing were complemented by disciplined defending, as they limited Redon City’s opportunities and kept their composure despite the home team’s efforts to rally. The yellow cards for Chagas and Alvez suggest a degree of frustration, but the visitors’ clean sheet and impressive shot accuracy reveal a team well-drilled and confident in their attacking transitions. Redon’s goalkeeper was kept busy, but the sheer volume of shots and the quality of chances meant they were often on the back foot, unable to stem the tide.
