Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Crougham Park scored three from 1.65 xG, substantially outperforming the chances they were estimated to create. Chames scored twice from 2.08 xG, finishing just below its chance-quality estimate. That gap helps explain how the visitors could have more shots and more shots on target yet still leave beaten: Crougham Park made its opportunities count, while Chames did not quite convert its greater attacking volume into an equal return. The teams shared possession evenly, but Crougham Park also won more corners and made more tackles, suggesting a more forceful approach in the moments that shaped the contest. It was not a night when the figures and the final score agreed to share a taxi.

The match’s decisive spell ran from the 34th minute to the 47th: Chames levelled through Philippe Robert, Pedro Chagas restored the home lead three minutes later, and Philippe Robert added a third just after the interval. Chames kept the contest alive when Allan Carroll scored in the 74th minute, but the late goal arrived after Crougham Park had already built the two-goal cushion. The five bookings gave the closing stages a brisk disciplinary subplot, though neither side was reduced to ten.

For Crougham Park, the result was a win built on sharp finishing rather than a statistical stranglehold. Chames produced more attempts and edged the xG, but the home side’s three goals proved enough to settle a close, productive contest. The final score, 3 - 2 to Crougham Park, records the essential fact: the visitors had their chances, and the hosts made better use of theirs.
