Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Graditch 2.98 xG and Yarley Rangers 2.63. Graditch scored twice, finishing just under its expected return; Yarley Rangers scored three, exceeding its estimate by 0.37. The figures point to a close contest for chances, not a match in which one side was shut out of the useful areas. Graditch’s 13 shots included 11 on target, while Yarley Rangers put eight of 14 on target. That makes the result an unusually neat reminder that a greater volume of accurate attempts does not guarantee the larger tally. Yarley Rangers were more efficient against the estimate, and their three goals across the match proved decisive.

The scoreline turned on a brief, busy stretch after the break. Sergio Diaz put Yarley Rangers ahead in the 55th minute; Ibrahim Spahić brought Graditch level five minutes later, then Lyuben Yordanov restored the visitors’ lead in the 63rd. With possession split exactly evenly and corners level at six apiece, neither side had a monopoly on the match’s raw materials. Yarley Rangers recorded more dribbles and committed more fouls, while Graditch made more tackles. The numbers offer texture rather than a single explanation: this was a close game settled by the finishing that mattered most.

• No Yarley Rangers players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.
