Venezia's 1.89 xG brought no goals

A missed penalty, then Lazio's from the spot
John Yeboah's missed penalty in the 17th minute cost Venezia −0.7 FN xPts. In the 51st minute, Mattia Zaccagni converted Lazio's penalty, worth +1.1 FN xPts to the visitors. Mandas then protected the lead, and Lazio kept a clean sheet.
Player of the match
Christos Mandas 8.6Dominant
He made seven saves and stopped a penalty in a clean-sheet win.
Mandas earned most of his score through goalkeeping. His penalty save in the 17th minute kept it goalless until Zaccagni's spot-kick in the 51st, and he conceded nothing afterwards, which kept Lazio's two-goal lead intact.

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.
