Let me think through this carefully.
**Key considerations:**
1. **Voice**: Étienne Gagnon, 49, Canadian — observational, tactical, measured
2. **Tic words**: «and here's the thing», «to be fair», «by then» (sparingly)
3. **Style**: Uneven paragraphs, active voice, British spelling, no hype
4. **Structure**: Match → events → stats → implication, no summary paragraph
5. **Prediction call**: Include naturally in mid-text, one or two phrases
6. **Data fidelity**: Only use provided facts
**Architectural Decisions:**
1. **Paragraph 1** (2 sentences): Result, competition, stage, venue
2. **Paragraph 2** (4 sentences): Goals and key events chronologically
3. **Paragraph 3** (3 sentences): Prediction call + tactical observation
4. **Paragraph 4** (4 sentences): Statistics tied to outcome
5. **Paragraph 5** (3 sentences): Table implications
