Athletic Club 1-3 Sevilla: three goals from 0.41 xG

Key numbers

  • 0.41 xG, three goals: clinical finishing
  • 18 shots at 0.07 xG per shot
  • Red card in the 11' left Athletic short

Plenty of the ball, little punch

Athletic were reduced to ten men when Yuri Berchiche was sent off in the 11th minute. They still held the ball for long spells and fired 18 shots, but averaged just 0.07 xG per effort. Sevilla, by contrast, scored three from seven shots.

Two quick goals after the break

Oso's opener in the 15th minute was worth +0.8 FN xPts. Substitutes Chidera Ejuke and Isaac Romero, both on from the 46th minute, scored in the 50th and 57th to make it 3-0, with the first worth +0.5 FN xPts. Aitor Paredes pulled one back in the 70th minute, but it barely moved FN xPts.

Player of the match
Oso 8.5Dominant

He scored once, set up another, and added three tackles and two interceptions.

Oso's biggest contribution came going forward. His 15th-minute goal gave Sevilla the lead they would hold for 75 minutes, and his assist for Romero's goal in the 57th made it 3-0. He also won eight of his 15 duels in 78 minutes on the pitch.

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.

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.
