Stoppage-time goal, quick reply
Shakhtar Donetsk went in front in first-half stoppage time through G. Mendoza, only for PSV Eindhoven to answer in the 48th minute through Sergiño Dest. The lead lasted three minutes, and the match then stayed level for roughly 87 minutes. Both goals were assisted: Isaque set up Mendoza and Armando Obispo set up Dest.
Shakhtar found the closer positions
PSV Eindhoven sent seven of their shots in from outside the box. Shakhtar Donetsk attempted fewer, yet 75% of theirs came inside it. Each side finished with two on target, which suggests the visitors found the closer positions even with less of the ball.
Isaque worked at both ends
Isaque won 10 of 14 duels, the most on the pitch, and his eight tackles were also the match high. He then created the opening goal for Mendoza. For PSV, Armando Obispo supplied the pass for Dest's equaliser, which was the Dutch side's reply within three minutes.
Two goals of near-equal value
Mendoza's goal turned a goalless match into a lead and was worth +1.0 FN xPts; Dest's reply three minutes later was worth +0.9. With the two so close, both sides finished on 1.0 FN xPts, down from their pre-match expectation. Neither side scored again after those goals either side of the interval.

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.
