Two goals tilt a goalless match
AC Milan won 2-1 in Turin after a goalless first half, with two quick goals doing the damage. Alphadjo Cissè broke the deadlock in the 64th minute and Adrien Rabiot added a second shortly afterwards. Torino's reply did not arrive until the 90th minute, by which time the match had already tilted firmly away from them.
Milan built xG through volume
Milan took all 19 of their shots from inside the box, which brought them an xG of 2.15. The quality of each effort was modest, though: their 0.11 xG per shot was lower than Torino's, which suggests sheer volume did the work. Several of those attempts were also blocked before they could trouble the goalkeeper.
Torino found the box but rarely the target
Torino's shots were mostly from inside the box, yet only one reached the target. That effort was Che Adams's goal in the 90th minute, set up by Gvidas Gineitis. Mike Maignan made no saves, so one on target was all Torino had to show for an xG of 1.29, a figure that says the chances existed but were not hit cleanly.
A substitute made one and scored the next
Cissè's goal in the 64th minute was worth +1.2 FN xPts to Milan, turning a level match into a lead. Rabiot, on as a substitute, created it and then scored the second himself, with Samuel Chukwueze providing the final pass. Chukwueze finished with four key passes, the most on the pitch, which shows where Milan's threat came from.
Player of the match
Koni De Winter 7.8Strong
He made eight defensive actions (five tackles, two interceptions, one block), the most of any player.
De Winter earned most of his FN Score through his work out of possession: he won seven of nine duels and completed 62 of his 65 passes. With Torino's only shot on target arriving in the 90th minute, that steadiness gave Milan a platform to score twice, in the 64th and 66th minutes.

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.
