Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Droswook Albion scored twice from 2.53 xG, a modest underperformance against the chance-quality estimate. Harlton Villa turned 3.73 xG into three goals, also finishing just below the model’s expectation, though their 14 shots on target from 16 attempts suggest a notably direct threat. The visitors’ greater shot volume and nine corners help explain the higher estimate; possession belonged to Droswook Albion at 55%, but territorial control did not translate into the more dangerous attack. The red card to Seungwoo Jeong came just before Michael Brown put Harlton Villa ahead, a sequence that made the hosts’ task harder. Philippe Robert reduced the gap, but the scoring stopped there.
The final score, Droswook Albion 2-3 Harlton Villa, reflects a contest in which the hosts had the greater share of possession and still found enough attacking resolve to make the closing stretch uncomfortable. They also scored twice, first through Nilson Pires and later through Philippe Robert, so this was no exercise in simply surviving the visitors’ pressure. But Harlton Villa were more productive in front of goal, with Seongsu Chu’s brace and Michael Brown’s second-half finish proving the difference. For Droswook Albion, the red card and the goal conceded a minute later marked a costly turn; for the visitors, three points came from a night when the ball was not always theirs, but the more dangerous chances often were.
