Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Weld Albion 1.51 xG and Strids 2.94. The hosts scored none, finishing below their estimate, while Strids scored four—more than a goal above its projected return. That gap points to sharp finishing from the visitors and a costly failure by Weld Albion to convert the opportunities it did create. The shot count adds context: Strids produced 14 attempts, with 10 on target, against six shots on target from Weld Albion. Possession and corners belonged to the hosts, but Strids made its attacks count with a ruthlessness the scoreboard is not inclined to soften.

The decisive passage came before half-time. Mato Stojić opened the scoring in the 30th minute, Aliou Sour doubled the lead eight minutes later, and Daniel Maturana added a third at 41'. Stojić then scored again four minutes after the break, taking the match from a difficult position for Weld Albion to a four-goal deficit. The hosts had more of the ball and more corners, but those advantages did not translate into a goal. Strids defended its lead through a busier workload in tackles and fouls, and its attack supplied the clearer difference between the sides.

• Weld Albion: No players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
• Strids:
• Mato Stojić (7.6) - Scored twice, including the opener and the fourth goal, to cap a decisive contribution.
