Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Maby Sand Villa 1.79 xG against two goals, a modest return above expectation, while Lydencastbur scored four from 4.28 xG, close to the chances their attack created. The bigger distinction was volume: the visitors had 20 shots and 15 on target, compared with seven shots and seven on target for the hosts. That points to a match in which Maby Sand Villa were efficient with a limited supply, but Lydencastbur kept bringing the ball into threatening situations until the balance of chances told. Possession was fairly even, so this was not simply a matter of one side monopolising the ball; the visitors made more of their attacking opportunities.

The opening goal gave Maby Sand Villa an early foothold, but Lydencastbur restored parity within five minutes and moved ahead before half-time. The second half offered the hosts a brief return to the contest when Pedro Chagas made it 3-2; the reply arrived a minute later, with Milivoje Šabić completing his brace and restoring the visitors’ two-goal cushion. Four goals from Lydencastbur against two from Maby Sand Villa is the final accounting, and the shot count helps explain why it stayed that way.
