CONCLUSION

The 5-0 result reflected Senegal's control and Iraq's numerical disadvantage after the red card. Possession and expected goals data supported the outcome without contradiction. Senegal maintained structure throughout while Iraq struggled to create after the dismissal. The halftime lead of 1-0 expanded in the second period due to the imbalance. No further cards occurred and the match concluded without additional incidents. Metrics confirmed consistency between process and result for the dominant side. Iraq's limited output matched their low expected goals total across the full ninety minutes.
