The key moments tell a story of dominance and discipline. At 25', Nilson Pires opened the scoring with a well-placed finish after a neat assist from Pedro Chagas. The visitors’ talisman was then booked at 29', a reminder that even the most effective players can be caught out by their own temper. By 37', Philippe Robert doubled the advantage, assisted by Michel Lemoine, whose influence was felt throughout the match. Robert continued his scoring spree at 42' with a second assist from Seungwoo Jeong, who also contributed two assists himself. The visitors’ relentless pressure culminated in Michel Lemoine’s goal at 69', assisted by Seungwoo Jeong, and finally, Nilson Pires’ second goal at 87', assisted by Michel Lemoine, sealing a comprehensive victory.
Tactically, Wokelle’s high shot volume (21 shots, 16 on target) and their expected goals tally of 4.53 reflect their offensive intent and efficiency, which outstripped Woodham’s modest 1.56 xG. The hosts struggled to contain the visitors’ movement, and their defensive organization appeared stretched, especially after receiving three yellow cards. Wokelle’s slightly superior passing accuracy (84%) and marginally higher possession (52%) translated into a game where they dictated tempo and created numerous scoring opportunities, far exceeding their xG expectation. The game’s outcome was a testament to Wokelle’s attacking quality and the hosts’ defensive lapses, which proved costly.
