Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Cham Fer scored four from an xG of 3.58, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate; Fainstbort scored twice from 2.43, finishing somewhat below theirs. The numbers describe a match in which both sides generated meaningful opportunities, with the hosts’ 16 shots and 13 on target giving them the greater volume and accuracy. Possession was level at 50% apiece, so Cham Fer did not need to own the ball to create more attempts. Fainstbort had more dribbles, 15 to eight, but the visitors’ individual carries did not translate into as many shots on target. The xG gap was not enormous, yet it supports the eventual result: Cham Fer made more of the attacking work and added two second-half goals after trailing.

• No Fainstbort players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The first half had already produced three goals and three yellow cards, leaving little room for the idea that the contest was settling into a quiet routine. Fainstbort went ahead through Jose Santos shortly before the interval, assisted by Jack Thomas, after Martin Mikkelsen had cancelled out Cham Fer’s early opener. The visitors had their lead, and the hosts had the task of answering it; the second half supplied the answer in three separate installments.

Phillip Lewis began the turnaround in the 55th minute, assisted by Allan Carroll. Zdravko Ivanišević put Cham Fer in front in the 71st minute, with Jonathan Lim providing the assist, and Lewis completed the scoring ten minutes later. Fainstbort managed eight shots on target and two goals, so this was no victory built on the visitors’ failure to threaten. Rather, Cham Fer matched the chances with the stronger final return, turning a 2-1 half-time deficit into a 4-2 win.
