The match’s xG figures suggest a slightly overperforming Sward, with an expected goals total of 3.23 compared to their actual three goals, indicating some clinical finishing. Hashutton’s xG of 2.09 reflects their more measured approach, with their goals coming from opportunistic moments rather than sustained pressure. Sward’s higher shot count and on-target shots demonstrate their attacking intent, but Hashutton’s defensive organization and timely interventions kept the game competitive. The tactical battle was evident in possession and pass accuracy, both sides maintaining high standards, but the game ultimately hinged on moments of individual brilliance and defensive lapses.

Hashutton United: No standout performers rated 7.0+, but Philippe Robert (6.8) was influential in midfield, orchestrating attacks and providing the assist for his goal. Zdravko Ivanišević (6.7) showed resilience with his goal and defensive efforts. Allan Carroll (6.5) kept the midfield ticking despite a yellow card.

Sward: Branko Bartolić (7.6) was the star of the show, scoring twice and earning his high rating for clinical finishing and work rate. Pedro Chagas (7.2) contributed with his assist and movement. Michel Lemoine (7.0) was lively, providing an assist and maintaining pressure, though he also received a late yellow card.
