Tamelt Town 0 - 5 Lowsbouth

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gives Tamelt Town 1.16 xG and Lowsbouth 2.16, against actual scores of zero and five. Tamelt Town therefore finished below its estimate, while Lowsbouth converted at a remarkable rate, scoring 2.84 goals above its xG. The visitors’ eight shots on target from nine attempts help explain the gap: they were considerably more decisive in front of goal, while Tamelt Town’s 60% possession and nine corners produced three efforts on target but no goal. The numbers describe a match in which control of the ball and control of the scoreboard went their separate ways.

The scoring began in the seventh minute and had reached 3-0 by half-time, with Nilson Pires scoring twice after Philippe Robert opened the account. Branko Bartolić added two more after the break, and Lowsbouth’s five goals came from four different scoring moments across the match. The visitors also collected four yellow cards, compared with one for Tamelt Town, but their discipline did not prevent a commanding win. For Tamelt Town, the nine corners and 60% possession offer some evidence of attacking territory; the final score is rather less interested in that evidence.
