CONCLUSION

The match statistics highlight how Deportivo Riestra achieved a 3-0 result through first-half efficiency despite minimal possession. The xG figures supported the final margin and confirmed that the home side outperformed the stronger visiting team. All goals arrived before the interval, leaving Boca Juniors unable to respond in the second half. Absence of red cards ensured the contest remained balanced in terms of personnel. The performance deviation by Deportivo Riestra stands as the central takeaway from the data. Possession dominance by Boca Juniors did not translate into scoring chances that matched their expected output. Overall the numbers present a clear picture of an upset achieved through clinical finishing rather than territorial control.
