Less possession, still top of the table
AS Roma won 2-0 at Torino and moved to the top of Serie A. They did it with less of the ball than usual: 47% possession, against a season average of 62.5% over four matches. They still out-created Torino on xG.
An early lead protected to the end
Donyell Malen's opener came in the 40th minute and was worth +0.9 FN xPts. Roma then spent about 50 minutes in front, with Mile Svilar saving every Torino shot on target. Niccolò Pisilli added a late second.
Player of the match
Gianluca Mancini 8.1Dominant
Four tackles, four interceptions and 8 of 14 duels won anchored Roma's clean sheet.
Gianluca Mancini had the highest FN Score, and his eight defensive actions were the most of any player on the pitch. He also put a shot on target. That work helped Roma keep Torino scoreless after Malen's opener.

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.
