A narrow win from a clear edge

Real Betis beat Getafe 1-0 and moved from fifth to third on 15 points. The xG read 1.89 to 0.29, so the chances were firmly with Betis, yet the margin was a single goal. They also kept a clean sheet, conceding fewer shots than their season average of 14 across six matches.

One goal on the stroke of half-time

Ezzalzouli's goal in the 45th minute, set up by Troy Parrott, was the only breakthrough and was worth +1.0 FN xPts. David Soria made six saves to keep Getafe in it, but they could not find an equaliser. Mario Martín was sent off in the 87th minute for a second yellow card.

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.

45' Abdessamad Ezzalzouli Goal · scorer +0.7 · assist Troy Parrott +0.3 +1.0

Getafe Expected (last two seasons) 1.0Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.7Time effect −0.3→ League points won 0

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.
