Player of the match
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 8.8Dominant
He scored once, provided two assists and made two key passes.
Aubameyang had a hand in every Deportivo goal, assisting in the 43rd and 79th minutes before scoring the winner in the 88th. He touched the ball only 18 times with his passes, yet each involvement shaped the 1-1, 2-2 and final scorelines.

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.
