Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Swadlin Rovers recorded 3.73 xG and scored three, a modest underperformance against the quality of chances created. Chils Wanderers had 1.87 xG but found the net once, also finishing below expectation. The shot totals tell the practical story: Swadlin Rovers managed twice as many attempts and put seven more on target, while Chils Wanderers had the greater share of possession and seven corners. Possession and corners offered the visitors routes into the game, but the hosts’ greater volume of accurate shooting made the sharper difference. Neither side converted all the chances its xG suggested; Swadlin Rovers simply built the larger allowance for missed opportunities.

The equaliser from Pedro Chagas came only four minutes after Luca Colombo had opened the scoring, briefly making the match a more balanced affair than the final score suggests. Swadlin Rovers then restored their lead through Antonino Greco and added a third through Albeiro Valderrama, with Angel Mora assisting both the first and third goals. The hosts finished with 47 per cent possession, so this was not a victory built on keeping the ball for its own sake. It was built on turning more of their attacks into shots on target, then finding the net three times. Chils Wanderers remained active in the numbers—more possession, more corners, more dribbles—but the scoreboard was unimpressed by the paperwork.
