The report
The chance figures suggest the score was a fair reflection of an open contest: Horthore scored three from 2.68 xG, while Wesmes United scored four from 3.59. Both sides finished slightly above their estimates, but neither by enough to make the result look like a statistical accident. The visitors also had more shots on target, 13 to nine, and more possession, 54% to 46%; those advantages gave their attack a steady supply of opportunities. Horthore were efficient enough to keep the game alive, but not quite efficient enough to turn their late pressure into an equaliser.
The decisive stretch came after Velimir Popović restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion in the 52nd minute. Horthore replied through Ibrahima Gueye, then conceded again to Carlos Mora before Jorge Lima made it 4-3 in the 87th. That late goal gave the closing minutes a proper edge, though the scoreboard had already made clear that Horthore needed one more than they could find. Mamadou Fall finished with two goals and a yellow card, a busy afternoon in which the goal column had the stronger case.
