Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The 3-1 result was close to Sousea’s 2.98 xG, while Witch Villa’s single goal came from 0.83 xG. In practical terms, the visitors converted a volume of promising opportunities that the hosts could not match: Sousea recorded 13 shots, 11 on target, against Witch Villa’s five shots and two on target. The xG figures point to more than a tidy finishing day; Sousea repeatedly found ways to turn possession and forward movement into shots that tested the defence. The hosts did respond with an equaliser, but that moment did not change the underlying pattern for long. Sousea’s second goal arrived early in the second half, and the third made the gap on the scoreboard a fair reflection of the chances created.

Witch Villa: No standout performers rated 7.0 or higher.

Sousea:

• Aleksandar Grgić (7.3) - Scored the opener and assisted Erik Salas, giving his contribution a useful presence at both ends of the scoring ledger.
• Holger Zimmermann (7.3) - Assisted the first goal and scored the third, contributing to the win at both ends of the match’s decisive moments.

Sousea’s 52% possession was only a narrow edge, but its 19 dribbles to Witch Villa’s six and its large advantage in shots on target show how much more often the visitors made their time on the ball dangerous. Tackles were level at eight apiece, so this was not simply a matter of Witch Villa declining to engage. The visitors were more effective at carrying the ball forward and finishing attacks; the hosts, meanwhile, committed more fouls and collected both of their yellow cards in a busy spell early in the match. Those bookings did not decide the outcome, but the score and shot count leave little doubt about which side controlled the larger share of the meaningful action.

At 1-1, Witch Villa had given itself a platform, and Shota Imura’s goal ensured the visitors did not simply stroll through the first half. Yet the equaliser was an interruption rather than a change of direction. Sousea answered promptly after the interval, kept producing attempts on target and eventually put the result beyond reach with Holger Zimmermann’s goal in the 74th minute. The final 3-1 was supported by the chance-quality figures and by the 11-2 advantage in shots on target: a win earned through a steady supply of dangerous attacks, rather than one fortunate bounce.
