Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Chaven United 0.51 xG and Smesop's 3.22, against the actual score of 0-9. The visitors therefore scored almost six more goals than their xG suggested, an emphatic overperformance rather than a neat one-for-one conversion of chances. Their 11 shots on target from 15 attempts point to sustained threat, while the nine goals show finishing that ran far beyond the estimate. Chaven United’s two shots, both on target, amounted to 0.51 xG but produced no goal. The hosts had more possession and corners, yet those measures did not translate into enough attacking volume to trouble the result.
Chaven United recorded no players rated 7.0 or higher.
Smesop's
- Ahmed Amin (8.6) - Scored three goals, supplied an assist and was booked.
- Gilberto Moreira (8.1) - Scored twice and assisted Ahmed Amin.
- Ibrahim Abubakar (8.1) - Scored twice and assisted Javier Herrera.
- Javier Herrera (7.3) - Scored once and assisted Gilberto Moreira.
- Luiz Lopes (7.0) - Set up two goals.
For Chaven United, the 55 per cent possession and six corners offered little consolation against a nine-goal deficit; their two shots tell the more consequential part of the story. Smesop's scored at five-minute intervals early on, then added six more after the break, with five different scorers among the nine goals. The visitors’ three yellow cards were not required for the arithmetic, but the one booking they received did at least prevent the disciplinary column from joining the scoreline in a clean sweep. The final margin was severe, and the match statistics leave no doubt about the gulf in attacking output, even if the xG figure suggests the visitors finished with extraordinary ruthlessness.
