The hosts pulled one back at 52' via Ruben Lourenço, and then equalized at 54' with Enrique Alvarez finishing a pass from Pedro Ferreira.

Tactically, the expected goals (xG) suggest a game that was closer than the scoreline indicates. Woken Town’s xG of 4.62 outperformed their actual two goals, hinting at missed opportunities or excellent saves from Harle Park’s goalkeeper. Conversely, Harle Park’s 3.72 xG shows they created quality chances, but perhaps lacked the finishing touch or were thwarted by Woken Town’s defensive efforts. The possession was evenly split, and the shot counts reflect a game where both sides had their moments, though Woken Town’s slightly higher shot count and on-target shots suggest they were marginally more threatening.
