Key Events:

• 21' after a precise pass from Jorge Alvez. The home side’s attacking rhythm persisted, and at 52', Nilson Pires doubled the lead with a well-placed shot, assisted by Seungwoo Jeong. The third came at 66', when Philippe Robert found the net after a clever pass from Allan Carroll. Hey City responded at 71' through Nilson Pires, who scored from a cross by Willi Schneider, but the hosts sealed the game with a late goal from Nilson Pires at 86', assisted by Philippe Robert. The match was not short of effort, but the hosts’ efficiency proved decisive

The expected goals (xG) tell a story of underperformance by Alcey Rovers, who registered an xG of 2.35 against their actual tally of four goals. This suggests they converted their chances more effectively than the statistical likelihood indicated, perhaps reflecting sharp finishing or a degree of luck. Conversely, Hey City’s xG of 1.32 shows they were somewhat wasteful, especially considering their nine corners, which did not translate into goals. The tactical battle was tight, but Alcey Rovers’ ability to finish their chances made the difference, despite Hey City’s possession and set-piece dominance.

No Hey City players reached the 7.0 mark, but Willi Schneider and Nilson Pires were notable for their efforts, with the latter’s goal providing some late consolation.

The statistics reveal a balanced game in terms of possession and fouls, but Alcey Rovers’ superior finishing and more accurate shooting ultimately decided the match. The visitors’ high corner count was not enough to overturn the deficit, and their defensive efforts were undone by clinical attacking play. Alcey Rovers will take confidence from this performance, knowing their attack can be both creative and deadly when it counts.
