A two-goal cushion built early

Deportivo La Coruña beat Valencia 3-1 at Riazor. César Tárrega's own goal in the 13th minute and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's strike in the 17th made it 2-0, and the hosts then spent 77 minutes in front over the 90.

Level on chances, ahead on the scoreboard

Shots were 11 to 12 and xG 1.42 to 1.4, so the match was finely balanced. Umar Sadiq pulled one back in the 26th minute, but Mouctar Diakhaby's own goal in the 59th restored the two-goal gap. The first own goal was worth +0.7 FN xPts to Deportivo.

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.
