Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Mable County scored four from a Gazzetta chance-quality estimate of 3.38, a modest return above the quality of chances recorded. Bech Wal scored twice from 2.23 xG, also edging past its estimate. The hosts’ 17 shots, with 11 on target, gave them more attempts and more accurate efforts than the visitors’ 10 shots and eight on target. The 4-2 scoreline therefore reflects both Mable County’s greater volume and the fact that Bech Wal made its own chances count. Possession was close at 52%-48%, so this was not a matter of one side monopolising the ball; Mable County made its advantage in attempts tell, while the visitors kept enough threat to make the closing stretch less restful than the first half had suggested.

The two-goal final margin was earned, but not entirely comfortable. Mable County led 3-0 by the 41st minute, then conceded to Jorge Alvez shortly after the hour and again to Leonardo Sala in the 88th. Each time the visitors found a way back onto the scoresheet, the hosts had already built enough of a buffer to avoid surrendering control of the result. Luis Pinto’s 79th-minute goal was particularly useful in that regard: it put the margin back at two before the late reply could turn the finish into a different sort of evening.

The match also offered a tidy contrast in its numbers. Bech Wal had more corners and slightly better pass accuracy, but Mable County made more attempts, put more shots on target and finished with the extra goals. The hosts’ 11 tackles to the visitors’ eight further sit alongside the greater shot volume as evidence of a side that did enough across the match to protect its lead. Bech Wal were efficient enough to keep the contest alive, and Alvez was central to that effort, but Mable County had the stronger scoring return and two-goal margin to show for it.
