Fenerbahçe 1-1 AS Roma: Archie Brown hits back after the break
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- Possession 58% v 42%: Roma had more of the ball
- Shots 11 v 8: Fenerbahçe had more attempts
- Svilar made 4 saves and conceded once
Goals traded, a point each
AS Roma went ahead in the 39th minute when Bryan Cristante finished a move assisted by Donyell Malen. Fenerbahçe levelled in the 48th minute, Archie Brown scoring from a Mason Greenwood assist. Roma's lead lasted for about nine minutes of match time, and the rest was played level, so the opening league-phase fixture ended with a point each.
Roma held the ball, the hosts had the shots
Roma kept the ball for longer, but Fenerbahçe had the shots advantage, 11 to 8, and a box share of 82% suggests they got those attempts away close to goal. Possession and shot count pointed in opposite directions, which left the match balanced rather than controlled by either side. Roma's time on the ball did not translate into more efforts.
Svilar's saves kept Roma level
Fenerbahçe's shots on target met four saves from Mile Svilar, which is why only one of them went in. At the other end Ederson also made saves, and in the 69th minute a Roma penalty involving Paulo Dybala was cancelled after a VAR check, removing a chance to change the scoreline.
Two goals of near-equal weight
Roma's opener was worth +0.9 FN xPts and Fenerbahçe's equaliser +0.8, so the second goal almost fully undid the first. Neither side found a third goal, and the match stayed level through to full-time. Both sides are on one point after the opening matchday.

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.
