Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Thorth Taun 2.74 xG and Scayland 0.01. The visitors therefore finished well above their expected return, scoring five from 15 shots, with eight on target; the hosts scored despite recording no shots and an xG barely distinguishable from the floor. That is an extraordinary gap between chance creation and the final score, not evidence of an even contest: Thorth Taun repeatedly got into positions to threaten, while Scayland produced almost nothing by the measure of attempts. The visitors’ 51% possession was only a slight edge, but the shot totals show how decisively they converted that modest control into attacking pressure.

The first-half goals shaped the match early. Jose Moreno opened the scoring in the seventh minute, then struck again before the break; Fernando Guevara added a third at 40', giving Thorth Taun a substantial lead before Scayland had registered a shot. Pedro Chagas pulled one back in the 66th minute, a brief interruption to the pattern rather than a change in its direction. Karam Saber restored the four-goal margin eight minutes later and completed the scoring in the 90th. Scayland won seven corners to the visitors’ three, but corners without shots are a rather ceremonial form of possession. Four yellow cards for the hosts and two for Thorth Taun added friction to a match whose decisive difference was made at the other end.
