Goalless at the break, four after it
Marseille beat Strasbourg 4-0 at the Vélodrome. The deadlock held until the 46th minute, when Amine Gouiri scored. Samir El Mourabet was sent off in the 59th minute, and two late goals, in the 89th and 90th minutes, completed the scoreline.
Gouiri's early goal set the tone
Gouiri's strike, set up by Angel Gomes, was worth +0.8 FN xPts, the largest value of any moment. He added a penalty in the 68th minute to make it 2-0. By the time the last two goals arrived, the match was long settled, so they barely moved FN xPts.

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.
