Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Blary scored five from an xG of 4.53, a modest overperformance of 0.47 goals: clinical, though not wildly at odds with the chances created. Thord scored once from 0.79 xG, also finishing slightly above its chance-quality estimate. The larger tactical divide sits in the shot count: Blary had 21 attempts to Thord's three, while possession was only 53%-47%. The hosts made their time on the ball count by generating repeated attempts and putting 16 on target; Thord found the target with all three efforts, but had too few chances to make that accuracy a serious counterweight.
The scoreline was built through a concentrated spell of Blary goals: three arrived between the 29th minute and half-time, and two more followed before Thord replied. The visitors did find a goal through Julio Cortes at 68', assisted by Ivan Cvetković, but that moment came after the contest had already tilted heavily toward the hosts. The cards were scattered around the scoring rather than defining it; Blary finished with two yellows and Thord with one, while neither side saw a red.
For Thord, the three shots on target and one goal offered some reward for limited attacking opportunity, but the match gave little room for a sustained response. Blary had the clearer advantage in territory of purpose rather than possession alone: both sides recorded 85% pass accuracy and three corners, yet the hosts produced seven times as many shots. At 5-1, the final score matched the broad shape of the afternoon, with Blary controlling the supply of chances and making enough of them count.
