Analysis The numbers behind the result
Wadi Degla clinical edge seals win despite Enppi possession
Wadi Degla's 3-1 victory was justified by their superior efficiency in front of goal, with an xG of 2.26 outperforming Enppi's 1.91. Despite Enppi's 54% possession and 16 total shots (four on target), Degla's clinical edge proved decisive. They converted two of their six shots on target, with S. Teka opening the scoring in the 3rd minute and Zizo sealing the win in the 82nd minute. Enppi's lone goal came from a 13th-minute penalty by Kahraba, but their dominance in possession (306 total passes, 68% accuracy) failed to translate into enough clear chances.
Tactically, Degla's defensive resilience stood out, with eight blocked shots and only three goals conceded against Enppi's attacking intent. Their key contributors were decisive: Teka's early goal set the tone, while Hassan's penalty in the 62nd minute and Zizo's late strike ensured victory. Degla's higher shot quality (10 shots inside the box, compared to Enppi's nine) and efficiency in key moments were pivotal.
The defining stat? Degla's 2.26 xG, which, despite being only marginally higher than Enppi's 1.91, reflected their ability to capitalise on fewer opportunities. Their clinical edge in decisive moments ultimately secured the win.
