Short review AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 21 shots to 10, but only 0.06 xG per Mainz shot
- 4 shots on target to 0, all saved by Noll
- Mainz FN xPts fell from 1.8 to 1.0
Plenty of shots, little clear quality
Mainz and Paderborn shared a goalless draw on the opening weekend, each taking a point. The hosts fired 21 shots but averaged only 0.06 xG per effort, which suggests plenty of volume and not much in the way of clear chances.
Noll earns Paderborn their point
Nahuel Noll kept Mainz out with four saves, one for each of the hosts' shots on target. Mainz's FN xPts fell from 1.8 before kick-off to 1.0 at full-time. Paderborn, without a shot on target of their own, still left with a point.
Player of the match
Danny da Costa 7.4Strong
He made three tackles and two interceptions and had three shots.
Danny da Costa won seven of his 13 duels and added three tackles and two interceptions, so his work came mostly in defence. He also had three shots himself, and Paderborn finished the match without a single shot on target.

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.
