Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Pethitby 3.98 xG against three actual goals, an underperformance of 0.98. With 17 shots and 15 on target, the hosts had ample opportunities to make the scoreline less delicate; their eventual third goal mattered all the more because the visitors had shown how little volume was needed to stay in the contest. Martot Park recorded 0.85 xG and scored twice, overperforming by 1.15. Two goals from five attempts, both on target, represent sharp finishing, though the low xG and shot count point to a side relying on a small number of moments rather than sustained pressure.

The possession figures were nearly even at 51-49, but the attacking returns were not. Pethitby put the ball on target fifteen times and earned only two corners, while Martot Park had three corners from five shots. The difference was not simply who held the ball: the hosts generated far more attempts and repeatedly tested the goal, while the visitors made their limited openings count. After Jorge Alvez and Jack Bishop put Pethitby two ahead inside 25 minutes, Seungwoo Jeong gave Martot Park a route back. Pedro Chagas restored the two-goal cushion at 81', but Seungwoo Jeong scored again in the 90th minute, ensuring the final score stayed closer than the overall chance picture.

The 3-2 result gives Pethitby the points, though the closing goal will have made the final minutes feel longer than the balance of play warranted. Martot Park showed admirable efficiency, especially through Seungwoo Jeong, but the broader tally belonged to the hosts: far more shots, far more efforts on target, and enough attacking pressure to secure the win. The scoreline records a narrow margin; the chance count records a rather less ambiguous afternoon.
