Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Crostenton recorded 0.36 xG and scored none; Mallowe United produced 3.33 xG and scored four. That is a modest over-performance for the visitors, but the broader figures explain the scale of the result: 18 shots to two, and 10 shots on target to one. The 52-48 possession split offers little comfort to Crostenton; possession without attempts is a rather quiet form of control. Mallowe United made its attacks count, with Fernando Sanches and Adilson Dos Santos both scoring and assisting.

The match turned at the end of the first half, when Fernando Sanches put Mallowe United ahead, then shifted decisively just four minutes after the restart as Adilson Dos Santos doubled the lead. The later goals from Assane Lam and Arlindo Do Rosário made the final score 4-0, matching the visitors’ dominance in chance creation with a clear margin on the scoreboard. Crostenton did win the possession and passing-accuracy measures, but neither translated into enough attacking pressure to change the contest. The late cards added a little administrative activity; the goals had already settled the matter.

• Crostenton had no standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
