Strasbourg restricted to five shots

Paris FC beat Strasbourg to climb from fifth to second in Ligue 1, moving onto 11 points. The visitors managed only five shots, well below their four-match season average of 13.3, so Paris FC faced far less pressure than usual.

Two early goals set up the win

Ilan Kebbal's goal in the 18th minute was worth +0.7 FN xPts, and Pablo Pagis's in the 57th added +0.5. Moustapha Mbow's own goal in the 88th minute cut the gap, but Paris FC still spent about 72 minutes in front.

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.

18' Ilan Kebbal Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Lassine Sinayoko +0.2 +0.7
57' Pablo Pagis Goal · scorer +0.3 · assist Maxime López +0.2 +0.5

Strasbourg Expected (last two seasons) 1.4Own moments 0.0Opponent moments −0.9Time effect −0.5→ 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.
