Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Burynes Palace scored four from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.98, a return almost precisely in line with the opportunities created. Stante Town scored twice from 1.64 xG, finishing above that estimate, but had far less to work with: seven shots to the hosts’ 17, and six on target to 15. The possession split, 55% to 45%, points to a modest territorial edge for Burynes Palace, while the shot count makes the attacking difference much clearer. For a spell after Jorge Alvez made it 3-2, the visitors had reason to hope their efficiency might keep the game alive. The hosts answered with two goals in two minutes, restoring the distance between the teams before hope could become a settled tactical arrangement.

• No Stante Town players reached a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The sequence after the break gave the match its sharpest turn. Craig Lloyd doubled the hosts’ lead in the 57th minute, but Stante Town replied almost immediately, then cut the deficit to one through Jorge Alvez in the 77th. Both responses made the scoreline feel unsettled in a way the broader chance count did not. Burynes Palace had controlled more of the ball and produced far more attempts, but a two-goal cushion had become a one-goal margin, and the visitors had shown they could convert the chances they found.

The final two goals were a brisk correction. Paulo Cabral restored the hosts’ two-goal lead in the 85th minute; Mario Gonzalez followed one minute later, turning a tense closing stretch into a clear 4-2 result. Stante Town had made the most of a limited share of the attack, but Burynes Palace had created enough to deserve the win and, eventually, enough to stop the match from asking further questions.
