   Conversion 4/14 (29%); on-target rate 8/14 (57%). Attempts split 5 in the first half and 9 in the second. Corners: 6 won, 5 leading straight to an attempt, one of those a goal; 3 against.

   Read the two halves with care. The official logged 33 events in the first half and 88 in the second, and ball-winning actions went from 11 to 45. A swing that size is far more likely to be how the match was recorded than how it was played: live entry was interrupted early in the first half. Match totals probably undercount the first half, and no first-half against second-half comparison should be drawn from them.

2. Territory and Zone Control

   Measured by cameras

   Each square is tinted toward whichever side spent more of its own time there, so the side picked up more often by the cameras gets no head start. Plateau United were the more present side in 128 squares and Kano Pillars in 122. The rest were even.

3. Team Shape

   Measured by cameras

   Position along the pitch: not settled. The minute-by-minute test finds a 3.0 m gap, but the three lenses watch different parts of the pitch, so no second view confirms it. Position across the pitch: level (neither test separates the two sides). Length, goal to goal: level (neither test separates the two sides). Width: not settled. The minute-by-minute test finds a 2.2 m gap, but the three lenses watch different parts of the pitch, so no second view confirms it.

4. Half by Half: Who Pushed Up

   Measured by cameras

   The pitch as you see it from the main stand, dugouts along the bottom edge. Plateau United attacked the right-hand goal in the first half and the left-hand goal in the second, read off the footage at each kick-off. The stronger a square’s colour, the more time that side spent there. Each side’s two maps share one scale, so you can compare a side’s first half with its second. The dashed line is the side’s average position.

   First half: Plateau United spent 49% of their time in Kano Pillars’ half, Kano Pillars 48% in Plateau United’s. Level: the gap is inside the minute-to-minute noise.

   Second half: Plateau United spent 49% of their time in Kano Pillars’ half, Kano Pillars 63% in Plateau United’s. Kano Pillars pushed Plateau United back (a 15-point gap, 95% interval 4–26).

   This shows where each side stood, not who closed down the ball: that needs the ball, and these figures don’t use it. The percentages come from the centre camera, the one lens that sees both sides of halfway, tested minute by minute.

6. Movement

   Measured by cameras

   Plateau United’s block ranged 45 m along the pitch over the match (27–72 m), Kano Pillars’s 43 m. The two blocks moved up and down the pitch together (r = 0.48). The difference in range has not been through a between-sides test, so treat it as description, not a finding.

7. Events on the Camera Clock

   Recorded by match official Measured by cameras

   Every Matchday event lands on the rig’s timeline. The official’s kick-off (15:04:05 UTC) is 16:04:05 local, 48 s before the rig started recording, so the first 48 seconds of the match are not on the footage. The third-minute goal and the first corner were checked against the video and sit where the record puts them, to within a few seconds. Plateau attacked the right-hand goal, as the centre camera sees it, in the first half.

8. Possession

   Measured by cameras

   Estimate: Plateau United had more of the ball, about 58% (95% interval 54–62%), allowing for how many of each side’s players were near it. First half 65%, second half 45% to Plateau United.

   From the rig’s own view of the ball; there was no ball camera at this match. From the stand the rig found the ball in 8% of the match and a player on it for 196 seconds (586 touches), and more of that comes from the opening quarter-hour than from any other spell. A stricter ball setting gives 64%. This method has not been checked against a second camera, so read the figure as an estimate.

9. Pressing

   Measured by cameras

   When the other side had the ball, Kano Pillars committed 13% of their nearby players to closing it down and Plateau United 12%. The gap is inside the noise, so neither side pressed measurably harder.

Players

Per-Player Event Record

Raw counts with minutes played, from the official’s substitution record. No per-90 rates: one match of live, single-pass entry is too thin to divide. No tackles and no goalkeeper actions were logged in this match, so ‘won back’ is interceptions and recoveries only.
