Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Chith Mor 4.13 xG and Bland Garn 4.19. Against those figures, Chith Mor scored three and underperformed its estimate by 1.13 goals; Bland Garn scored six, overperforming by 1.81. The underlying chance estimates were nearly level, so the final margin was not a simple reflection of one side creating far more. Instead, Bland Garn made its opportunities count at a striking rate, while Chith Mor’s three goals in six second-half minutes briefly suggested the match had found a new script. The visitors’ response began two minutes later, and their subsequent scoring turned that burst into a footnote with unusually good timing.
Chith Mor
- Matthias Paul (7.3) - Scored and assisted, contributing to the home side’s rapid revival after the break.
- Khadim Diakhate (7.0) - Scored and supplied an assist, though his first-half booking made for a busy afternoon in more ways than one.
Bland Garn
- Gilson Mendes (8.6) - Scored twice and assisted twice, a direct hand in four of the visitors’ six goals.
- Hamilton Vaz (8.3) - Scored twice and assisted twice, helping Bland Garn answer the home surge and pull away.
- Serafim Paiva (7.3) - Scored once and assisted once, including the opening goal’s setup.
The figures underline a curious division of labour: Chith Mor had more of the ball, completed more passes accurately and attempted more dribbles, while Bland Garn took more shots and made more tackles. With both sides recording one corner and xG separated by only 0.06, neither the territory nor the estimated quality of chances foretold a three-goal difference. The decisive distinction was conversion, and Bland Garn supplied it in emphatic quantities. Chith Mor did enough after half-time to make the match genuinely competitive for a moment; the visitors did more than enough afterward to ensure that moment did not last.
