Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: Swafornbursh scored four from 3.48 xG, a modest return above the chance-quality estimate, while Kirkhapley scored twice from 1.30 xG, finishing more efficiently than the estimate would suggest. The shot count gives the broader picture: Swafornbursh had 18 attempts, 11 on target, against Kirkhapley’s five, all on target. Kirkhapley held 54% possession and completed passes more accurately, but those advantages did not translate into a comparable volume of chances. Swafornbursh were more direct in their threat and kept finding the target; Kirkhapley made its limited opportunities count, yet could not keep pace with the hosts’ supply.

The late first-half goals briefly made the scoreline feel unsettled. Swafornbursh had gone two ahead before Michel Lemoine pulled one back, then restored the two-goal cushion through Celestino Costa just before the break. Zdravko Ivanišević scored early in the second half to bring Kirkhapley back within one, but Costa answered six minutes later. That fourth goal proved decisive, and the remaining match statistics tell a useful supporting story: Kirkhapley attempted more dribbles, while Swafornbursh produced the greater attacking volume. This was not control by possession so much as control of where the meaningful danger appeared.
