Expected Goals (xG) Analysis: The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Sker Park at 2.87 xG against one actual goal, while Marrouck Villa recorded 3.88 xG and scored three. Both sides finished below the estimate, but the gap was sharper for the hosts: nine shots on target from 15 attempts produced only Porter's early goal. The visitors had 13 on target from 19 shots, and their three goals came from a broader attacking return. Sker Park edged possession, 52% to 48%, and corners, 6-3, but the shot and xG figures indicate that Marrouck Villa made its possession count more directly. The hosts found territory and opportunities; the visitors supplied the more convincing end product.

The quick equaliser mattered: Marrouck Villa did not allow the opening goal to become a long spell of Sker Park control, and Traore's goal before the half-hour put the visitors in front. Schubert's 75th-minute finish, assisted by Stefanov, gave the result its final shape. The late cards—four for Sker Park, three for Marrouck Villa, with none red—suggested a match that grew increasingly untidy as the outcome settled. Sker Park had enough attacking volume to make the contest interesting, but Marrouck Villa had the better balance of threat and finishing, and took the points accordingly.
