Osasuna 1-0 Getafe: Budimir's penalty is enough

  • 45' penalty worth +1.0 FN xPts

A single penalty settles it at El Sadar

Osasuna beat Getafe 1-0, and the match turned on Budimir's penalty in the 45th minute. The hosts then led for the remaining half of the match, despite having only 45% of the ball.

Fewer shots, but better ones

Osasuna had fewer shots than Getafe, yet their xG per shot of 0.17 was well above the visitors' 0.06. Getafe saw an Enes Ünal goal ruled out by VAR in the 52nd minute, and the penalty, worth +1.0 FN xPts, stayed the only goal.

Player of the match
Abel Bretones 7.3Strong

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.

45' Ante Budimir Pen goal +1.0
Osasuna Expected (last two seasons) 1.6Own moments +1.0Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.4→ League points won 3
Getafe Expected (last two seasons) 1.1Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.8Time effect −0.3→ League points won 0

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.
