Before kick off Shadow Owls were favourites.
Weighted points put all three pillars on one scale. Each card shows how its number is worked out. One match still carries real luck.
Team Strength at Kickoff
How strong each side was with the tactics they used. Squad quality caps the team. Pitch coverage asks how well the XI covered the nine zones for the chosen style. Tactic unlocks are the philosophy and trait bonuses that actually fired. Philosophy fit measures how well the XI met the chosen style's trait requirements. Opponent-specific edges (matchups, home advantage, referee) are scored elsewhere.

Matchup Analysis
Shadow Owls's Gegenpress should disrupt Phoenix United's Tiki Taka short-passing game.
Phoenix United's 3-5-2 overloads midfield against Shadow Owls's 4-3-3 (5 vs 3), so expect more ball control.
Shadow Owls sends 3 attackers at a 3-man Phoenix United back line, stretching it to breaking point.
Phoenix United's 3 defenders have no spare man against Shadow Owls's 3 attackers, so every runner must be tracked.
Shadow Owls has 2 natural leaders on the pitch to Phoenix United's 0, giving them a stronger dressing room culture that steadies defence and midfield.
Pitch Heat Map
Nine-zone strength snapshot for each side at kickoff. Brighter = stronger in that third and channel. Both grids read from their own team's perspective: rows run attack to defence, and left and right are that team's own. So one side's left attack meets the other side's right defence.
