The visitors’ xG of 5.23 far exceeded the actual four goals, indicating they were somewhat wasteful but still effective enough to secure the win. Ossomber United’s minimal attacking threat was evident, with no shots on target and an almost negligible xG of 0.01, suggesting they were largely spectators in their own half. The visitors’ ability to convert chances while maintaining a high pass accuracy (85%) was a testament to their tactical focus, exploiting the hosts’ defensive lapses.

The game’s key turning points came early, with Elio Ferreira receiving a yellow card in the 12th minute, setting a combative tone. Rob Renaud opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, and Honoka Imura doubled the lead with a well-placed finish in the 28th, assisted by Konate Dje. The visitors continued their relentless pressure, with John Campbell adding a third in the 52nd minute, again assisted by Konate Dje, who was instrumental in orchestrating attacks. Imura completed her brace in the 71st minute, sealing the game. The visitors’ discipline was also tested with four yellow cards, but their defensive resilience and clinical finishing ultimately secured a comprehensive victory.
