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.

18' Ruslan Malinovskyi Goal +0.8
47' Domenico Berardi Goal +0.8
90' Leo Østigård Goal · scorer +1.3 · assist Aarón Martín +0.5 +1.8
Sassuolo Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −1.7Time effect −0.4→ League points won 0
Genoa Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +2.6Opponent moments −1.0Time effect −0.1→ 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.
