FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

32' Vitor Roque Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Abdessamad Ezzalzouli +0.2 +0.8
34' Chimy Ávila Red card −0.5
47' Giovani Lo Celso Goal +0.7
55' Alejandro Baena Goal +0.6
Villarreal Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +0.6Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −1.2→ League points won 0
Real Betis Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments +1.0Opponent moments −0.7Time effect +1.6→ League points won 3

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
