Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Hayle City recorded 2.26 xG and Burs Cre 4.19, against the final score of 0-5. Burs Cre’s five goals exceeded their chance-quality estimate by 0.81, while Hayle City finished without a goal despite an xG figure that suggests they created opportunities of real value. The visitors also produced 19 shots, with 15 on target, compared with Hayle City’s 12 shots and seven on target. That difference points to Burs Cre making their attacks more dangerous and putting the hosts under a steady stream of pressure; the xG and shooting figures make the result look forceful rather than fortunate. Hayle City had slightly more possession and the same number of corners, but control of the ball did not become goals. The decisive spell came immediately after the interval, when Burs Cre scored three times between the 50th and 60th minutes and turned the contest into a very difficult afternoon for the hosts.

No Hayle City players reached a rating of 7.0.

Burs Cre’s win was built less on monopolising possession than on converting their attacking pressure into a sequence of goals. The match was level at the break, but Nilson Pires struck five minutes into the second half and the visitors added two more before the hour. Zdravko Ivanišević and Philippe Robert joined the scoring, with assists from Jorge Alvez and Pedro Chagas respectively; Philippe Robert then set up Nilson Pires for the fourth. The cards were shared evenly, two apiece, and neither side was reduced to ten. By the final whistle, Burs Cre had turned a close possession split into a 0-5 result, with Nilson Pires’s three goals providing the clearest measure of the difference.
