Sassuolo 3-2 Juventus: four goals from the 82nd minute
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 10 shots, 3 goals: 1.98 above their xG
- Murić made 6 saves, clean sheet until 82'
- Sassuolo substitutes: 2 goals, 1 assist
Substitutes supplied the key goals
Sassuolo beat Juventus 3-2 in a match that was goalless at half-time and produced five goals after the 65th minute. Three substitutes had a hand in goals: Darryl Bakola's assist set up Kieron Bowie, and Vasilije Adžić scored the winner. Juventus hit back twice through Edon Zhegrova but could not complete the turnaround.
Fewer shots, sharper finishing
Sassuolo shot less and scored more. Ten shots brought three goals, and their finishing outran the xG by 1.98. Their xG per shot was also higher than Juventus's, which suggests the chances they did create were better rather than more numerous.
Juventus's shots lacked bite
Juventus had more shots than Sassuolo have faced on average over their five matches this season, but each carried little threat in xG terms. Arijanet Murić made six saves and Sassuolo kept a clean sheet until the 82nd minute.
Sassuolo had the final word
Zhegrova's equaliser was answered by Bowie in the 89th minute, and his second of the match levelled things again in the 90th. Adžić then won it, set up by Armand Laurienté, and the goal was worth +1.8 FN xPts.
Player of the match
Edon Zhegrova 8.6Dominant
He scored twice in 30 minutes as a substitute and had the highest FN Score in the match.
Zhegrova came on in the 60th minute and did his most damage in attack. Both of his shots were on target, he created three chances and won three of his four dribbles. That output turned a 1-0 deficit into 1-1 in the 82nd minute and 2-2 in the 90th, although Juventus still lost.

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.
