Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Tam Malin scored eight from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.02 xG, an exceptional return well beyond the chances’ expected value. The 13 shots and 11 on target point to a sustained attacking threat, but the gap between three expected goals and eight actual ones also shows how decisively Tam Malin finished. Chord Wanderers, by contrast, recorded one shot and 0.26 xG, ending with no goal; the visitors’ 53% possession was only a modest edge, while the scoreline was anything but modest.

The match was already 4-0 by the half-hour, with Nilton Lopes and Silvino Lopes each scoring twice before the interval. Tam Malin added four more after the break, including a second-half hat-trick goal apiece for both players. The sequence gave Chord Wanderers little chance to reset the contest, while the hosts’ one shot meant there was no attacking reply to complicate the visitors’ work.

The remaining figures describe a game with a few misleadingly ordinary details: both sides completed 85% of their passes, and the corner count was close at 3-4. Chord Wanderers also registered more dribbles, 12 to nine, without turning those efforts into shots or goals. There were three yellow cards for the hosts and two for Tam Malin, but no red cards. The 0-8 result stands plainly enough without needing help from the disciplinary record.

No Chord Wanderers player reached a rating of 7.0.
