Cup tie: Sofascore has team statistics, lineups and the incident timeline, but NO shotmap, average-positions or momentum graph — so there is no xG, no shot locations and no shape data for this match. Deliberately excluded from fixtures.json and match_analytics.json so it cannot touch league aggregates, form, correlations or benchmarks. Not counted in Scottish Premiership records, form, xG or benchmarks — cup and league are kept separate.
