Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Brouth Albion scored three from 2.93 xG, almost exactly in line with the quality of the chances created. Sheaffiele scored once from 1.53 xG, finishing below its chance estimate; with all six of the visitors’ shots on target, their threat was real, even if it produced only one goal. The hosts’ 14 shots and ten on target, against six shots for Sheaffiele, point to a clear difference in attacking volume. Possession was nearly even at 51%-49%, so this was not a matter of one side simply keeping the ball. Brouth Albion made more of its attacks count, while Sheaffiele had to work hard defensively, recording 15 tackles to the hosts’ five.

For Brouth Albion, the defining stretch was brief and emphatic: Jorge Alvez opened the scoring, then supplied the assist for Philippe Robert, before scoring again two minutes later. The hosts had built their three-goal cushion before the match had properly settled into ordinary business. Their advantage was earned through sharp attacking execution rather than a monopoly on possession, and the final 3 - 1 scoreline reflects both that early command and Sheaffiele’s later response.

The visitors did make the second half more competitive on the scoreboard when Zdravko Ivanišević converted Pedro Chagas’s assist in the 68th minute. But Sheaffiele could not turn its work rate into a sustained comeback, and the opening burst remained the match’s central fact. Brouth Albion finished with the win; Sheaffiele finished with six shots on target and the rather less useful consolation of knowing its goalkeeper was not the only one being kept busy.
