Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Stand City recorded 1.71 xG and finished with no goals, a substantial shortfall against the chances’ estimated quality. Walch Wanderers had 3.54 xG and scored five, exceeding the estimate by 1.46. That is the mark of clinical finishing on top of a strong attacking return: the visitors registered 20 shots, 10 on target, and seven corners, compared with Stand City’s eight shots, six on target, and three corners. The possession figures, 49% to 51%, were close; the match was not. Stand City managed to put efforts on target but could not convert that promise, while Walch Wanderers made its greater volume of opportunities count often enough to settle the contest well before the late fifth goal.

The timing gave the result its shape. Georgi Ismail opened the scoring in the 13th minute, and Walch Wanderers added two more before half-time, including Jose Sanchez’s goal in the 44th minute. Roque Cardoso made it four in the 51st, turning any prospect of a second-half revival into a rather demanding proposition. The final goal arrived in the 89th, with Ismail completing his brace. Stand City had more accurate passing, at 83% against 81%, and the sides were close in possession, but those measures did not compensate for the gulf in attacking output. The figures tell a blunt story: Walch Wanderers produced the larger share of the danger and finished it with unusual efficiency.

• No Stand City players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
