Match 1st Half 2nd Half

2.8	Expected goals (xG) Expected goals xG - measures the quality of a scoring chance and the probability of it becoming a goal. It's calculated from factors like shot location, angle, distance, assist type, and defensive pressure. Each shot gets a value from 0 to 1; a team's total xG is the sum of all its shots. A penalty is usually worth ~0.79–0.80. Higher xG = better chances, regardless of whether goals were actually scored.	0.76
45%	Ball possession	55%
4	Big chances Big chances - counts clear scoring opportunities where a goal is highly expected. These are situations like one-on-one with the goalkeeper, close-range shots with little defensive pressure, or shots into an open goal.	1
25	Total shots	14

10	Shots off goal	4
17	Shots inside the Box	10
8	Shots outside the Box	4
2.63	xG on target (xGOT) xG on target (xGOT) - measures the likelihood that a shot on target results in a goal. Unlike xG (which evaluates the chance before the shot), xGOT assesses execution - shot placement, goalkeeper position, etc. - after the ball is struck. Only shots on target are included, each valued 0–1. A team's total xGOT is the sum of all its on-target shots.	1.12

1.04	Expected assists (xA) Expected assists (xA) - measures the likelihood that a completed pass will become an assist for a goal. It evaluates the quality of the pass based on factors like its placement, trajectory, speed, the receiver's position, defensive pressure, and the overall attacking context. Each key pass receives a value between 0 and 1; a player's or team's total xA is the sum of these values. Higher xA indicates better chance creation, even if the subsequent shot is missed or saved.	0.75
5/18 (28%)	Crosses	5/17 (29%)
7	Goalkeeper saves	4
1.12	xGOT faced xGOT faced - total number of goals a goalkeeper would be expected to concede based on the volume and quality of on-target shots faced. Each shot's quality is assessed using post-shot factors: placement, goalkeeper positioning, shot speed, etc. xGOT Faced for a team equals the opposing team's total xGOT from shots on target. It serves as the benchmark for calculating Goals Prevented.	2.63
1.12	Goals prevented Goals prevented - measures how many goals a goalkeeper saved compared to expectation. It is calculated as the difference between xGOT Faced (the total post-shot expected goals of all on-target shots faced) and the actual number of goals conceded (excluding own goals). A higher positive value indicates the goalkeeper performed above average, preventing more goals than expected from the quality of shots faced. A negative value means more goals were conceded than the shots "deserved.	-2.37
