Frosinone 0-1 Juventus: Bremer's strike is enough in the opener

Key numbers

  • xG 0.41 vs 2.18: Juventus had the better chances
  • 12 corners to 3 in Juventus's favour
  • Led for about 68 minutes after Bremer's 22' goal

One goal, three points on the road

Juventus won their Serie A opener at Frosinone through a single goal, Bremer's in the 22nd minute. They spent roughly 68 minutes in front from there, while Frosinone were unable to find an equaliser. It was Bremer's first Serie A goal of the season, and Francisco Conceição's first assist.

Juventus created more than the scoreline shows

Juventus's xG of 2.18 against Frosinone's 0.41 suggests the scoreline flatters the hosts. Twenty shots produced only one goal, so the margin stayed slim all the way to full-time and Frosinone were never out of reach of a late equaliser.

Frosinone held on through their defenders

Frosinone's resistance rested on Lorenzo Palmisani's saves and on Giorgio Cittadini, who won 13 of 14 duels and made more defensive actions than anyone on the pitch. At the other end, their shots averaged an xG of just 0.04, which suggests they rarely posed a real threat.

The lone goal came from a defender

Bremer's goal in the 22nd minute, created by Francisco Conceição, was worth +0.7 FN xPts and proved the only goal of the match. It was also the winner, and the lead it created lasted about 68 minutes. Conceição, meanwhile, completed more dribbles than anyone 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.

22' Bremer Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Francisco Conceição +0.2 +0.7
Frosinone Expected (no record yet, starting estimate) 0.8Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.6Time effect −0.2→ League points won 0
Juventus Expected (last two seasons) 1.9Own moments +0.7Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.4→ 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.
