Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate gave Harkert 4.89 xG and Poleesbritch 0.36. The final score of 0 - 7 therefore had Harkert finishing 2.11 goals above its estimate, while Poleesbritch finished 0.36 below theirs. Seven from 4.89 is emphatic over-performance, but not detached from the evidence: Harkert put 19 of 20 shots on target, a conversion rate that made the goal frame seem unusually cooperative. Poleesbritch managed two shots, only one on target, so its modest xG never became a sustained threat.

The possession figures offer a useful correction to any impression that Poleesbritch controlled the contest: the hosts had 56% of the ball, but Harkert turned its 44% into a relentless stream of attempts. Nine corners for Poleesbritch to three for Harkert suggest the home side did reach attacking positions, yet the two-shot total shows how little those set-piece opportunities translated into danger. The decisive shift came after the break. Following Nikola Jović’s booking at 52', Harkert scored at 54' and then added six more, with Jović involved as scorer or provider throughout the sequence. That is clinical finishing, backed by a substantial imbalance in shot volume and a second half in which Poleesbritch could not interrupt the pattern.

Harkert

• Nikola Jović (9.6) - Scored three, assisted three and still found time for a yellow card in a performance that supplied nearly the whole attacking plot.
• Tihomir Matijević (8.6) - Scored twice and assisted twice, giving Harkert another dependable source of goals and service.
• Gabriel Marin (7.3) - Scored the opening goal and later assisted Jović, helping turn the floodgates into a team project.

No Poleesbritch players recorded a rating of 7.0 or higher.

The scoreline leaves little room for a close-game reading: Harkert won 0 - 7, and the seven goals were spread across a second-half burst that kept gathering speed. Poleesbritch retained possession, completed passes more accurately and earned more corners, but those advantages did not yield enough shots to trouble the visitors. Harkert, meanwhile, paired 20 attempts with 15 tackles and made the match’s most important statistic the simplest one: it kept getting into shooting positions, then kept hitting the target. The final margin exceeded the xG forecast, but the underlying gulf in chances was already plain.
