Sury Staple 3 - 2 Witefravan

Sury Staple beat Witefravan 3-2 after a match that managed to fit four first-half goals, three bookings and a winner in the 90th minute into one ordinary afternoon’s accounting. Sury Staple had the greater share of the chances; Witefravan kept the score level until the final minute, when the hosts finally made their advantage count.

The opening exchanges were brisk. Luis Sobral put Sury Staple ahead in the 5th minute, assisted by Nenad Jakšić, before Ousmane Sylla drew Witefravan level twelve minutes later. Julio Ruiz restored the hosts’ lead in the 34th minute, with Luis Sobral providing the assist, but Witefravan answered again when Luis Pinto scored from Stuart Mitchell’s pass in the 40th. The remaining half then stretched into a long wait for the next goal, interrupted by bookings rather than a change to the score.

Sury Staple finished with 18 shots to Witefravan’s eight, and 14 of those efforts were on target. The xG figures, 3.93 to 1.73, show a substantial advantage in the quality and volume of the hosts’ chances. Scoring three from 3.93 xG means Sury Staple finished below its estimate, while Witefravan scored twice from 1.73 xG and edged above its own. That combination helps explain both the hosts’ greater attacking pressure and the visitors’ stubborn presence on the scoreboard. Possession was nearly even, and Witefravan completed a slightly higher share of passes; the difference was less about having the ball than about turning attacks into attempts. Carlos Correa, assisted by Julio Ruiz, settled the arithmetic in the 90th minute.

The late goal gave Sury Staple a narrow win, not a quiet one. Witefravan twice found an equaliser after falling behind, but the hosts’ 10-shot advantage and larger xG total point to a side that created more opportunities and eventually found one more. Three yellow cards arrived across the match—one for Sury Staple, two for Witefravan—while neither side had a player sent off. The final margin was one goal; the chance balance was rather less delicate.
