Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Burnar 5.43 xG against four goals, while Deadites had 3.02 xG and scored twice. Both sides therefore finished below their estimated chance return: Burnar by 1.43 and Deadites by 1.02. That points to a match with enough opportunities for a more extravagant score, though neither side converted at the rate its chances suggested. Burnar put 20 of 24 shots on target, compared with 10 of 15 for Deadites, and the hosts’ greater shot volume helped turn their attacking pressure into the difference on the scoreboard. Possession was 50-50, so this was not a matter of one team simply keeping the ball away from the other; Burnar made more of its time with it.

No Deadites players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The final 4-2 score reflects Burnar’s advantage in shots and its decisive early spell, but not a lack of threat from Deadites. The visitors scored just before the break and again one minute after Ivan Cvetković restored the hosts’ three-goal cushion, keeping the game lively rather than allowing the second half to become a formality. Burnar answered the challenge by holding onto its lead; Deadites had chances, but the hosts’ four goals proved the more substantial fact. In a match where both sides reached double figures for shots on target, the scoreline was busy enough without requiring any help from the possession column.
