Harle Athletic generated an xG of 3.58, indicating their attacking dominance and efficiency in converting chances, while Lishorn Rovers had an xG of just 0.88, reflecting their limited threat in front of goal. The hosts’ high shot volume and on-target accuracy suggest a well-organized attack, with Jose Londoño and Hipolito Rios capitalizing on their opportunities. Conversely, the visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances, with only three shots on target despite five corners, highlighting their attempt to threaten from set pieces rather than open play. Tactical discipline from Harle Athletic was evident, as they maintained possession (51%) and kept the visitors on the back foot, controlling the tempo and dictating play.

No players from either side reached the 7.0+ rating threshold, but several performed commendably under pressure. Yongjoon Gim scored twice and was lively throughout, earning a solid performance. Ian Mcgregor added a late goal to seal the victory, showcasing his attacking instincts. Defensively, Michel Lemoine contributed with key passes and assists, while Ahmed Eissa was involved in both goals and received a yellow card for his aggressive play. The hosts’ team effort was evident, with no standout individual but a cohesive display that overwhelmed the visitors.

The match was a testament to Harle Athletic's attacking prowess and tactical discipline, with their clinical finishing making the difference despite a relatively even possession split. Lishorn Rovers showed resilience but lacked the cutting edge needed to challenge the hosts effectively. The result reflects the hosts’ superior attacking xG and their ability to convert chances, while the visitors’ defensive efforts were undermined by their limited goal threat. Overall, a well-deserved victory for Harle Athletic that keeps them firmly in the hunt in Division 7 League 13.
