An early goal set up a long lead
Tiago Santos struck in the 18th minute from a Dilane Bakwa assist, a goal worth +0.7 FN xPts because it turned 0-0 into a lead. Lille then spent about 72 minutes in front, and Ethan Mbappé added a second in the 90th minute, set up by Maurits Kjaergaard.

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.
