Alreby Villa’s xG of 2.38 compared favorably to their actual goals, indicating they were somewhat unlucky not to have scored more. Their 10 shots, nine on target, suggest a team that was willing to take risks and was rewarded with two goals. The hosts, meanwhile, had a more conservative approach, with five shots and an xG of just under one, reflecting a game plan that relied on efficiency rather than volume. The visitors’ ability to capitalize on their chances, combined with their disciplined fouling (10 fouls) and effective tackling (12), kept the game within their grasp. The late goal from Pedro Chagas for Wild Stanley was a fitting but ultimately too little, too late, as Alreby Villa held firm to secure the win.

The tactical narrative was clear: Alreby Villa played a slightly more direct, aggressive game, as evidenced by their nine dribbles and higher tackle count, while Wild Stanley maintained possession and looked to build from the back. The yellow cards for Jorge Alvez, Pedro Chagas, and Nilson Pires reflect a game with some tension, but no players were dismissed. The visitors’ ability to absorb pressure and strike on the counter was the key to their victory, and their goalkeeper’s eight saves kept them in front when the hosts pushed forward in the dying moments. Ultimately, the match was a demonstration of how finishing and discipline can outweigh possession and chances created.
