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

- Just 2 of 13 Elche shots on target
- Celta had 0 shots on target, a season low
Elche's control led nowhere
Elche had far more of the ball than usual, with 66% possession against a season average of 49.9% across seven matches. Yet their xG per shot was just 0.06, and only two of 13 efforts hit the target. Territory did not translate into clear chances.
Celta's resistance held firm
Celta Vigo failed to register a shot on target, the lowest of their eight matches this season, and their 34% possession was also a low. Even so, Ionuț Radu made two saves and Elche's xG stayed at 0.84. Celta committed 21 fouls, well above their average of 11.3.

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.
