The report
The opening seven minutes set the pattern. Marco Berrios scored in the fourth minute, assisted by Norberto Romero, and the two switched roles three minutes later as Romero finished Brandon Hunter’s assist. Mallin’s possession share was 52%, but the visitors’ 18 shots to the hosts’ one tell the more consequential story: Walces Athletic were repeatedly able to turn the ball into attempts, while Mallin rarely threatened in return.
The third goal arrived in the 28th minute, assisted by Berrios, with no scorer identified in the record. That moment came alongside a yellow card for Luis Pinto, in a busy minute that offered Mallin little comfort. Further cautions followed for both sides before Sreten Đokić scored the fourth in the 78th minute. Walces Athletic had to defend more often by the foul count, committing 17 to Mallin’s seven, but the visitors kept their lead intact and completed a comprehensive win.

Expected Goals (xG) Analysis
The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Walces Athletic 3.18 xG and Mallin 0.26. The final 4-0 score means the visitors finished slightly above their expected total, while Mallin scored no goals from their modest estimate. That is a strong return from Walces Athletic, but not an implausible one: nine of their 18 shots were on target, compared with Mallin’s single shot, which was also their only effort on target. The possession figures were close, and Mallin even edged pass accuracy, yet those measures did not translate into meaningful attacking volume. In this match, control of the ball and control of the chances were plainly different jobs.
Mallin: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
Walces Athletic:
- Marco Berrios (7.3) - Scored the opener and assisted the third goal.
- Norberto Romero (7.3) - Scored the second and assisted the opener.
The 0-4 scoreline is supported by the shape of the match: Walces Athletic created far more, struck early and often, and never let Mallin’s greater share of possession become a serious reply. The late goal made the margin emphatic, though the decisive work had already been done in the first 28 minutes. For Mallin, the numbers point to a difficult attacking afternoon rather than a shortage of the ball; for Walces Athletic, they show a side that used its chances with enough efficiency to turn a clear advantage into a convincing result.
