Simple match analysis · the same match in plain languageExecutive assessment
On the cameras, neither side sat measurably higher up the pitch, and the two shapes were alike in length and width. Running speeds were level. There was no ball camera at this match, so possession and pressing are not measured.
Rig coverage is 102:22 of play out of 102:33 recorded, across the 23–100 m band of the pitch the aligned lenses reach. Every positional figure below is measured inside that window and that band.
Two sources: Recorded by match official (Plateau only, live single-pass entry, no video review) and Measured by cameras. Kit figures use all three lenses: the centre lens covers the middle of the pitch and the two outer lenses the goal ends. Inside each lens, Plateau are picked out by green shorts under a yellow shirt and Sporting Lagos by their dark blue shirts; anyone matching neither closely (the referees in pink, both goalkeepers) is left out of the team figures. Checked by eye on every player at six moments of the match: about nine in ten are right in the centre lens, fewer at the goal ends. Roughly a quarter of tracks match neither kit closely enough and are left out, about evenly from both sides. 85% of kit readings come from the centre lens. There was no ball camera at this match, so possession and pressing are not measured on these pages.
Man of the match
Scored both of Plateau’s goals: the equaliser on 35 minutes from Majalisa Andrew’s pass, and the goal that put Plateau ahead in first-half stoppage time. He had 6 attempts, more than any team-mate (next best 3), and put 4 of them on target. He played 77 minutes before being replaced with the score at 2–2.
Selected from the data, not by a panel: both of Plateau’s goals and the most attempts in the side on the match official’s record. Yahaya Ibrahim had the most recorded actions (8, four of them interceptions). The cameras measure the team, not the player, so none of this comes from tracking.
All 57 events the official logged for Plateau United, checked against the published result. Goals are counted inside “on target”, following the Matchday definition (“plus every attempt that scored”). Substitutions are in the count; tackles, aerial duels and goalkeeper actions were not logged in this match.

Conversion 2/21 (10%); on-target rate 11/21 (52%). Attempts split 16 in the first half and 5 in the second. Plateau won no corners that the official logged; Sporting Lagos had 1.
Read the late counts with care. The official logged 35 events in a first half that ran 52 minutes and 22 in the second, but only 7 Plateau actions after the 65th minute. Ten men for the last quarter-hour explains some of that; so few entries in the last half-hour are more likely a gap in the recording than a side that stopped playing. Treat the late bands as incomplete.
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 129 squares and Sporting Lagos in 104. The rest were even.

Position along the pitch: not settled. The minute-by-minute test finds a 4.6 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: level (neither test separates the two sides).

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 55% of their time in Sporting Lagos’ half, Sporting Lagos 28% in Plateau United’s. Plateau United pushed Sporting Lagos back (a 27-point gap, 95% interval 17–36).
Second half: Plateau United spent 35% of their time in Sporting Lagos’ half, Sporting Lagos 76% in Plateau United’s. Sporting Lagos pushed Plateau United back (a 40-point gap, 95% interval 29–52).
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.

Every Matchday event lands on the rig’s timeline. The official’s kick-off (15:02:25 UTC) is 16:02:25 local, the second the rig started recording, and the half-time whistle and second-half kick-off fall within three seconds of the rig’s own half-time pause. Dawa Victor’s second goal was checked against the video: the bench is celebrating about ten seconds before the official logged it. Plateau attacked the right-hand goal, as the centre camera sees it, in the first half.
Not measured at this match. There was no touchline ball camera, and the rig’s own ball estimate has not been run on this recording, so these pages say nothing about who had the ball or who closed it down.
Players
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, aerial duels or goalkeeper actions were logged in this match, so ‘won back’ is interceptions and recoveries only. Alex Agahowa’s card column shows his first yellow; he was sent off for a second on 79 minutes.
