- Lille: 8 on target from 11 shots
- Lille led for about 79 minutes
Angers shoot more, Lille score
Lille won 2-0 at Angers despite being outshot. Angers had the higher xG, 1.99 to 1.24, but only two of their 20 shots hit the target. Anthony Lopes made six saves in the home goal, yet the finishing never matched the volume.
Two early goals settled it
Olivier Giroud scored in the 11th minute from a Nabil Bentaleb assist, a goal worth +0.7 FN xPts. Tiago Santos added a second in the 31st minute. Lille led for about 79 minutes, and eight of their 11 shots were on target.
Player of the match
Tiago Santos 8.8Dominant
The Lille defender scored in the 31st minute and added three tackles and three interceptions.
Santos put both of his shots on target, one of them the 31st-minute second goal, and won six of his nine duels. That mix of attacking and defensive work helped Lille protect a 2-0 lead for most of the match.

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.
