Seychelles vs Sri Lanka - Friendly International

Seychelles dominated the ball and territory, out-possessing Sri Lanka 55-45% and racking up 86 dangerous attacks to their opponents' 66, yet found themselves undone by a more efficient visiting side. Dillon De Silva's 32nd-minute strike, arriving after a sustained spell of corners, gave Sri Lanka the lead they'd defend for the rest of the match. Ahmed Wassem Razeek doubled the advantage late on in the 84th minute, again following a string of corners, to put the result beyond doubt. Despite committing 27 fouls to Seychelles' 16 and conceding the territorial battle, Sri Lanka matched their hosts shot-for-shot (8 apiece, 4 on target each) and proved far more clinical when chances arrived, a damning stat for a Seychelles side that controlled large portions of the game but couldn't convert their dominance into goals.
