Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Ampton scored twice from 1.79 xG, a modest over-performance that reflects the side making its limited opportunities count. Taven Thistle scored four from 4.08 xG, almost exactly matching the quality of the chances created. That difference in volume mattered: the visitors had 18 attempts, 15 on target, while Ampton managed seven shots, all on target. Taven Thistle also edged possession and pass accuracy, and its 16 dribbles against three point to a side more able to carry the ball forward. The numbers describe not a freakish finishing contest but a sustained advantage in attacking output, eventually made decisive by two goals in the final ten minutes.

• Ampton
• Xinping Boon (7.3) - Scored Ampton’s first goal and assisted its second, providing both direct contributions in the home side’s response.
• Taven Thistle
• Sherif Mohamed (7.6) - Scored twice, including the 87th-minute goal that restored a two-goal cushion.
• Manuel Silva (7.3) - Assisted Sherif Mohamed’s late goal before scoring himself two minutes later.

The sequence after the break gave Ampton reason to believe: Xinping Boon scored two minutes into the second half, and Jose Saavedra made it 2-2 in the 80th minute. But Taven Thistle answered quickly through Sherif Mohamed, then added Manuel Silva’s goal before the match could settle into its new shape. Ampton’s four yellow cards, three of them between the 60th and 63rd minutes, mark a spell of pressure in which the hosts were also repeatedly pulled into fouls. There was no red card to change the arithmetic; the difference was the visitors’ greater supply of chances and their late ability to convert it into the 4-2 result.
