Plenty of shots, little punch

Frosinone took the lead through Giorgi Kvernadze and Genoa levelled early in the second half, leaving it 1-1 at Luigi Ferraris. Twenty-six shots was well above Frosinone's average over five matches this season, yet their xG per shot was only 0.07.

A miss undone by a quick reply

Lorenzo Colombo's missed penalty in first-half stoppage time cost Genoa −0.6 FN xPts, but Johan Vásquez's equaliser in the 50th minute won back +0.8. Vásquez was sent off for a second yellow card in the 86th minute, and Genoa saw out the match with ten men.

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.

14' Giorgi Kvernadze Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Romano Schmid +0.2 +0.8
45+1' Lorenzo Colombo Pen miss −0.6
50' Johan Vásquez Goal · scorer +0.6 · assist Djibril Sow +0.2 +0.8
86' Johan Vásquez Red card −0.1
Genoa Expected (last two seasons) 1.3Own moments +0.1Opponent moments −0.7Time effect +0.3→ League points won 1
Frosinone Expected (last two seasons) 1.5Own moments +0.8Opponent moments −0.2Time effect −1.1→ League points won 1

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.
