Match Analysis

From the opening whistle, Fankom SSh 5 imposed themselves as the dominant force. Their statistical superiority was evident across virtually every category: 55% ball possession to BoMiK's 45%, 100 attacks compared to the home side's 81, and 59 dangerous attacks versus 52. It was a performance built on structured control rather than spectacular individual brilliance.

The breakthrough arrived at the 30-minute mark, Fankom SSh 5 capitalising on their sustained pressure to take a deserved lead. The goal settled the visitors and allowed them to manage the game on their terms heading into the break.

The second half brought more of the same, and Fankom SSh 5 doubled their advantage on the hour mark when Mikhail Zemskov found the net in the 60th minute, effectively putting the match beyond reach with a comfortable cushion. It was a significant strike — one that shifted the burden entirely onto BoMiK to chase the game.

To their credit, BoMiK did not capitulate. The home side showed spirit late on, pulling a goal back in the 87th minute to set up a nervy finale. However, Fankom SSh 5 held firm to see out a well-earned win.

In terms of shooting, both sides registered 3 shots on target apiece, though Fankom SSh 5 edged the total shots count at 5 to 4. BoMiK's discipline was a concern, with 13 fouls committed and 3 offsides recorded, compared to Fankom SSh 5's 12 fouls and a clean offside record. The home side's set-piece activity was marginally higher with 4 corners to 3, though this ultimately yielded little.

The late BoMiK consolation prevented a perfect scoreline prediction, but the analysis correctly identified the visiting side's superiority across key performance areas.
