Harkert 7 - 0 Bruth Park

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Harkert at 3.26 xG and Bruth Park at 0.21. Seven goals from 3.26 xG is substantial over-performance: Harkert finished with ruthless efficiency, scoring half their 14 attempts and putting 12 on target. The gap was not merely a matter of finishing, either. Bruth Park had two shots, neither on target, and their low xG reflected how little danger they created despite winning four corners. Harkert held 55% possession, but the match was settled by turning possession and chances into goals at a rate the estimate did not expect.

The first two arrived inside 12 minutes, both from Matijević passes to Tall, and the early damage gave Harkert room to control the match without needing to monopolise the ball. Nikolay Mihalev added two before the break, then Matijević scored three minutes into the second half and Tall completed his hat-trick four minutes later. Miguel Fernandes made it seven in the 87th minute. Bruth Park collected four yellow cards, including two in the closing stretch, while Harkert had one; the visitors’ discipline grew less tidy as the score grew less negotiable.
