Vitória SC's 5-0 victory was emphatically deserved, with their 1.82 xG comfortably eclipsing Marítimo's meager 0.54, mirroring the gulf in quality. Despite an early flurry of yellow cards, Vitória controlled 58% possession and converted it into 16 total shots (8 on target) compared to Marítimo's 10 attempts (only 2 on target). The hosts' attacking efficiency was clinical, with Arnel Jakupović (36', 76') and Oumar Camara (60') finding the net, supplemented by a Paulo Henrique own goal (48') and Yeimar Mosquera's late strike (90').

Marítimo's defensive frailty was exposed, conceding twice from set-pieces and failing to contain Vitória's width (6 corners to 5). The visitors' disjointed performance was compounded by three first-half yellow cards, disrupting any rhythm. Vitória's superior shot quality (10 attempts inside the box) and Alan Guimarães' two assists underscored their creative edge. The decisive stat: Vitória's 8 shots on target to Marítimo's 2, a stark indicator of their attacking supremacy.
