Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Mallotes Albion scored five from 4.34 xG, a modest over-performance that fits a side repeatedly finding good chances rather than relying on a single improbable strike. Thord finished with no goals from 0.26 xG, and its only shot was on target: a slim attacking return despite 56% possession and 11 corners. The contrast is the match in miniature. Thord had more territory by the possession measure, but Mallotes Albion produced 19 shots, 16 on target, and enough threat to make possession look like a particularly decorative statistic.

The decisive spell arrived before the half-hour. Mirko Pranjić opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Živko Ivanović added another a minute later, and Pranjić struck again in the 24th. With Ivanović scoring once more before the break and Tadashi Kai adding the fifth in the 55th, Mallotes Albion made the result emphatic without needing to dominate the ball. The four yellow cards were shared evenly; the scoreline was not.
