Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Blarer Villa recorded 3.34 xG and scored five, finishing 1.66 goals above the chance-quality estimate. That is a substantial over-performance, built on 15 shots and 12 on target, with Pedro Chagas and Philippe Robert converting repeatedly as the match wore on. Brawled had 1.51 xG but no goals, underperforming by the full amount; all six of their shots were on target, so the blank was not for lack of getting attempts toward goal. The figures suggest the visitors created more and made their chances count with exceptional efficiency, while Brawled found no reward for their own efforts. Possession was close at 48% to 52%, but the shot count and the final score tell a less balanced story.

For Brawled, the six shots on target and 1.51 xG offer evidence of some attacking promise, but the match ended without a goal to show for it. Four yellow cards, compared with one for Blarer Villa, also mark a difference in how the contest was managed: the visitors were able to keep their discipline while building a commanding lead. Their 11 dribbles, against five for the hosts, point to another advantage in carrying the ball forward, though the decisive measure was what happened at the end of those moves. Five goals from five different stages of the match left little doubt about the outcome; even the final minute had room for Philippe Robert to add his second. Blarer Villa were not merely efficient enough to win, but efficient enough to make the closing minutes feel like an administrative formality with a scorer attached.
