Chingborn scored three from 1.99 xG, finishing about a goal above expectation. The numbers suggest Alney City created enough to make the match closer on chance quality than the final score indicates, but the visitors were markedly more clinical with the opportunities they had. Their three goals by the 31st minute built a substantial advantage before Alney City found a reply just before half-time. Alney City had 14 shots, 10 on target and nine corners, yet the late goal arrived only in the 89th minute; pressure was present, though its conversion came late.

• Alney City: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.
• Friedrich Unger (7.0) - Scored the opener, assisted Bruno Rossi and was shown a yellow card in a decisive first-half contribution.

For Alney City, the late strike from Nilson Pires, assisted by Pedro Chagas, narrowed the margin but left too little time for a further change to the score. The hosts’ larger shot count and corner advantage show that they kept asking questions; Chingborn had already supplied the most consequential answers. The three early yellow cards for Alney City also arrived before or around the spell in which the visitors took control, making a difficult start still harder to manage.

Chingborn did not need to dominate possession to make the opening half-hour count. With 51 per cent of the ball and nine shots, the visitors were less busy in front of goal than Alney City, but more efficient when their chances arrived. The final 2-3 score stands: Alney City made a contest of the closing stages, while Chingborn had done the most important work before the match reached its halfway point.
