Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Petouts Wanderers 0.56 xG and Horth 3.6. The final score of 1-7 therefore represents a striking overperformance by both sides, but on very different scales: Petouts Wanderers converted their two shots on target into one goal, while Horth scored seven from 16 shots, 13 of them on target. The equal 50% possession figures tell only a small part of the story. Horth created far more attempts and repeatedly put them on frame, turning its share of the ball into pressure with a dependable supply of chances. The five-goal return from Klaus Schäfer was especially clinical against an xG figure that, even for a team with 3.6, did not quite anticipate such a productive day.

The goal just after the break briefly offered Petouts Wanderers a response: Jorge Alvez made it 3-1 at 49', assisted by Pedro Chagas. But Horth answered two minutes later, and Klaus Schäfer added another at 55'. That quick return to scoring matters more than the brief narrowing of the margin. With 13 shots on target to the hosts’ two, the visitors had a steady route back into dangerous territory, while the hosts’ five corners and ten dribbles did not translate into a sustained change in the contest.
