For Burbrinch, the 0–5 defeat leaves a stark question of how to turn possession and set-piece opportunities into attempts: the hosts had the ball, won eight corners and still recorded zero shots. Smels were not required to dominate those measures. They needed to create pressure, put the ball on target and finish often enough to make the afternoon unmistakable. Three goals from Pedro Chagas, with Jorge Alvez also on the scoresheet and involved in the later attack, supplied the sharp edge. The numbers leave little room for ambiguity: Smels made its chances count, while Burbrinch never found a shot to ask the opposing goalkeeper a question.
