Dortmund 3-2 Villarreal: Guirassy strikes twice in five minutes
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 2.83 v 1.34: Dortmund had the better chances
- 80'-85': Guirassy turned 1-1 into 3-1
- Guirassy: 5 shots, 3 on target, 2 goals
All five goals came after the break
Nothing separated the sides at half-time, but the second half broke the match open. Renato Veiga's own goal in the 53rd minute gave Dortmund the lead and Santiago Mouriño levelled in the 66th. Then two goals in five minutes from Serhou Guirassy made it 3-1. Guirassy put the ball into his own net in the 90th minute to cut the deficit to one.
Dortmund created the better chances
Dortmund's expected goals came to 2.83, and their shots were individually better too. Villarreal's four-match average this season is 1.1 xG conceded, so this was well above their norm, although the sample is small. The home side's pressure told in the numbers even before the goals arrived.
Silva's cameo tipped the balance
Fábio Silva was introduced in the 75th minute and all three of his shots were on target. His pass set up Guirassy in the 80th minute to make it 2-1, a goal worth +1.4 FN xPts because it turned a draw into a lead. Mouriño's equaliser had been worth +0.8 FN xPts to Villarreal, and the goal wiped that out.
Villarreal matched them on target
Villarreal also had six shots on target, level with Dortmund. Tajon Buchanan put all three of his efforts on target and created three chances, yet Mouriño's goal was the only one of their own making. Guirassy won and scored a penalty in the 85th minute to give Dortmund a two-goal cushion, which the late own goal could only trim.
Player of the match
Serhou Guirassy 8.2Dominant
He topped the FN Score with two goals and a penalty won.
Most of his FN Score came from attacking work: three of his five shots were on target, he won seven of 11 duels and drew three fouls. His 80th-minute goal made it 2-1 and carried the highest FN xPts value of the match. Five minutes later he converted the penalty he had won himself, which gave Dortmund breathing space.

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.
