Lony Bard’s relentless pressure was evident from the outset, with their 64% possession translating into 19 shots, 15 of which were on target. The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate pegged their expected goals at 4.18, a figure that suggests they were somewhat unlucky not to have scored more. Their goals came early through Pedro Chagas (10') and Jorge Alvez (56'), both assisted by Philippe Robert, who was the standout performer with a 7.0 rating and two assists. Michel Lemoine added a third in the 60th minute, sealing the game. Meanwhile, Cle Town’s solitary goal by Jorge Alvez in the 79th minute was a mere consolation, coming after a defensive lapse that allowed the hosts to briefly threaten a comeback. The home side’s limited attacking output was reflected in their meager 0.36 xG, a statistic that highlights their inability to threaten the visitors’ goal despite some sporadic possession.

Tactically, Lony Bard’s dominance was clear, with their high pass accuracy (86%) and disciplined defending—evidenced by their equal tackles (8) and fewer fouls (6)—allowing them to maintain pressure. Cle Town, on the other hand, struggled to generate meaningful chances, managing only one shot on target from their single attempt. Their 36% possession and 73% pass accuracy suggest a team that was often chasing shadows rather than dictating play. The yellow cards to Jorge Alvez (58') and Pedro Chagas (85') hint at a game played with some edge, though neither team saw red. The visitors’ ability to convert their chances, combined with Cle Town’s defensive frailty, ultimately decided the game’s outcome.

No Cle Town player reached 7.0+ — their effort was collective but lacked standout individual brilliance.
