Juventus 5-0 NEC Nijmegen: five goals, no corners

AI-written review based on match data · How we make it

Key numbers

  • Shots on target 7-3 despite 11 shots each
  • 0 corners vs a 9.8 average (4 matches)
  • 3-0 by half-time; led for about 81 minutes

Same shot count, very different quality

Juventus beat NEC Nijmegen 5-0 in Turin, and the scoreline says more than the shot count, which was level. Seven shots on target to three tells the story. Juventus took most of their shots from inside the box, while NEC had more efforts from outside it than in. Bryan Linssen had four attempts for NEC without hitting the target.

Three goals before the interval

Nicolás González's early opener in the ninth minute was worth +0.4 FN xPts, and it began with an assist from goalkeeper Kamil Grabara. Three goals had gone in by half-time, and Juventus spent about 81 minutes in front. NEC were level for only about nine minutes, right at the start, which left little chance of a way back.

Below their averages, yet still emphatic

Juventus's output was lighter than usual. Their season average over four matches is 18.5 shots, and here they had 11 and no corners at all. They also had less of the ball than their average, and faced more shots than usual. The goals therefore appear to have come from sharper finishing rather than sheer volume.

Kolo Muani's cameo added the gloss

Randal Kolo Muani, introduced in the 71st minute, supplied a goal and an assist in his 19 minutes. He set up Zeki Çelik in the 75th minute, then scored himself in the 82nd from a pass by Jhon Lucumí. Both goals arrived with the match long decided, so their value in FN xPts was close to zero.

Player of the match
Jhon Lucumí 8.3Dominant

He played all 90 minutes, made two key passes and provided an assist, and led Juventus in FN Score.

Lucumí's value came mostly from his attacking contribution, notably two key passes and the assist for Kolo Muani's goal in the 82nd minute. He also completed 70 of 74 passes from the back, and as a defender in a side that kept a clean sheet and won 5-0, he picked up further credit for the result.

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.

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.
