Five shots were enough on the road
Marseille won at Troyes without needing many chances. The hosts did most of the shooting, yet five shots brought two goals for the visitors, far below Marseille's 13.3 average across six matches this season.
A goal to break the deadlock, then a penalty
Shortly after the restart, Amine Harit finished from Emerson's assist, a goal worth +0.8 FN xPts because it broke a goalless match. Troyes managed 0.08 xG per shot to Marseille's 0.26, and Himad Abdelli sealed it with a penalty deep into stoppage time.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Kelyann Bezahaf 7.6Strong
He completed 64 of 66 passes and made two interceptions.
Bezahaf earned his credit mainly through build-up play and defending, and that steadiness mattered once Marseille were in front. Troyes had 15 shots, yet scored nowhere in the roughly 40 minutes Marseille led.

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. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.

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.
