Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Fringtridle’s three goals sat almost exactly on its 3.03 xG, a close match between chance quality and finishing. Lon Gres, by contrast, scored four from 1.67 xG, substantially outstripping the chances the estimate says it created. The shot count sharpens the contrast: Fringtridle had 12 attempts, all on target, while Lon Gres managed seven, with six on target. Fringtridle’s volume and accuracy were not enough to secure the points; Lon Gres turned a smaller attacking return into a larger one, with the two goals either side of half-time changing the direction of the contest.

The scoreline also had a late complication. After Jorge Alvez brought Fringtridle back into the match in the 55th minute, Lon Gres struck twice in three minutes to extend its lead to two. Pedro Chagas scored in the 90th minute, assisted by Alvez, but the late goal could only narrow the margin. Fringtridle finished with more shots and slightly better pass accuracy, while possession was nearly even; Lon Gres had more dribbles and corners. The numbers describe two sides with different routes to goal, and a match in which the side that made fewer chances work harder left with the win.
