Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Neovenrime Cast scored four from an xG of 4.33, a close return on the quality of chances created and a slight underperformance by the numbers. Deent United scored once from 0.64 xG, making the most of a limited opportunity, but could not build on it: the visitors managed just three shots, compared with 19 for the hosts. The 16 shots on target for Neovenrime Cast underline how persistently they tested the defence. Although Deent United held 53% possession and completed passes at 85%, those figures brought little attacking volume. Neovenrime Cast had less of the ball, but made far more of its time with it, then turned the contest decisively with two goals in two minutes.

• No Deent United players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The early exchange briefly suggested a contest with room for either side to take control. John Gonzalez put Neovenrime Cast ahead after eight minutes, and Roger Clement levelled six minutes later for Deent United. But Walter Bell restored the hosts’ lead before half-time, and the gap in shot volume gave the visitors little reason to expect an easy route back. After the break, Mohamed Salem and Albino Ferreira scored within two minutes of each other to settle the score at 4-1. The final margin reflected the hosts’ command of the chances more than their share of the ball: Neovenrime Cast did not need possession to dominate the decisive parts of the match.
