The xG figures reveal a game that was more about efficiency than chance, with Blevenhe County’s 3.38 xG significantly outstripping Tick-on Wanderers’ 1.64. The hosts created a higher quality of chances, reflected in their 17 shots (11 on target), compared to the visitors’ 7 shots (6 on target). Despite the possession being evenly split at 49% to 51%, Blevenhe County’s slightly higher shot count and better conversion rate highlight their sharper attacking edge. Defensively, the hosts were disciplined, winning more tackles (12 to 6) and maintaining a solid pass accuracy of 80%. The visitors, while more active in dribbles (15 to 8), struggled to translate their possession into meaningful scoring opportunities, as evidenced by their lower xG and fewer shots on target.

For Tick-on Wanderers, Nilson Pires (7.6/10) was the standout, scoring twice and proving a constant threat. The visitors’ attacking efforts were somewhat hampered by a lack of finishing quality, but their work rate and dribbling (15 attempts) kept the game lively.
