Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The 2-2 result was a sharper return for Shen Villa than the chance-quality estimate suggests: 1.06 xG became two goals. Norom Mart, by contrast, produced 2.92 xG and also scored twice, so their finishing matched the total while the final score did not reflect the volume of their opportunities. The shot count makes the contrast plain: four for Shen Villa, all on target, against 14 for Norom Mart, with 10 on target. Shen Villa made a great deal of its limited attacking work, while Norom Mart created more and had to settle for a share of the points. The equal possession split was not quite equal—Norom Mart had 53%—and the visitors’ greater shot volume gives that small territorial edge some substance. The figures do not specify how each chance arose, but they do show a home side unusually efficient with its attempts and a visiting side that found the target often without turning its larger attacking return into a win.

• No Shen Villa players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

For Shen Villa, the two goals between the 24th and 30th minutes offered a substantial platform, but Norom Mart reduced the deficit before the break and levelled in the 51st. Luis Pinto supplied both visiting goals, with assists from Ousmane Sylla and Lindomar Da Silva. The match’s final goal arrived early in the second half; after that, the score stayed put, despite Norom Mart finishing with considerably more shots and shots on target.

The discipline record was modest in scale but unevenly distributed: Shen Villa collected two yellow cards, while Norom Mart received one, and neither side had a player sent off. The teams also recorded identical pass accuracy and tackles, while Shen Villa completed more dribbles and earned one more corner. Those details give the draw its shape without changing its central fact: Shen Villa were more economical, Norom Mart more prolific in creating attempts, and neither side found a third goal. A 2-2 split is the official accounting; the xG ledger files a quiet objection on Norom Mart’s behalf.
