Teldoverskea United 6 - 4 Sough Wednesday

The chance-quality figures tell a slightly different story: Teldoverskea United scored six from 3.01 xG, substantially outperforming the estimate, while Sough Wednesday scored four from 3.53 xG, finishing a little above theirs too. The visitors actually produced more shots and more shots on target, but the hosts made their chances count with startling efficiency. Eleven of Teldoverskea’s 13 attempts were on target, against 12 of Sough’s 17, so the difference was not a monopoly on pressure so much as the home side’s sharper return from it.

The opening stretch set the tone. Adel Ahmed put Teldoverskea ahead in the third minute, Hector Martinez replied three minutes later, and Fu Ishida restored the lead almost immediately. By the 22nd minute, goals from Gil Lopes and Henry Douglas had made the score 3-2; the match had already dispensed with the usual courtesy of allowing either defence to settle. Teldoverskea held the advantage through the second half, but Sough kept the contest alive with goals at 57 and 75 minutes. Jim Taylor and Fabrice Ouattara then supplied the late answers, leaving the visitors’ greater shot volume and xG as evidence of a lively threat, not a result.
