Expected Goals (xG) analysis reveals a game that was closer than the scoreline suggests. Calham United’s 2.97 xG indicates they created high-quality chances, and their 11 shots on target reflect their attacking intent. Seade-Selacun’s 2.08 xG, despite less volume, was a fair reflection of their more controlled approach. The fact that both teams scored roughly in line with their xG suggests a game of tactical discipline and clinical finishing rather than sheer luck. Calham’s higher xG and more shots on target point to an offensive edge, but Seade-Selacun’s resilience and timely goals kept the game balanced.

Nobody from Calham United reached the 7.0+ rating threshold apart from Pinto and Štimac, but their contributions were pivotal. Seade-Selacun’s top performer was Branko Bartolić, whose goal and assist earned him a solid rating, reflecting his influence on the game’s outcome.

The statistics reinforce the narrative of a game where Calham United’s attacking intent was clear, with more shots and higher xG, yet Seade-Selacun’s possession dominance and set-piece threat kept the game finely balanced. Both teams will likely reflect on missed opportunities and defensive lapses, but the overall spectacle was a testament to the competitive spirit of Division 7 League 51.
