A stoppage-time penalty ends the deadlock
Dinamo Zagreb beat Anderlecht 1-0 in a match that stayed level for around 90 minutes. Dion Drena Beljo's penalty in the sixth minute of stoppage time was the first lead of the night and the only goal.
The goalkeeper made the difference
Anderlecht put six shots on target, yet Dominik Kotarski made six saves and kept a clean sheet. Dinamo managed just three on target from 13 attempts, but the late goal was worth +2.0 FN xPts to them and −1.0 to Anderlecht.

Dominik Kotarski 8.2Dominant
He made six saves to deal with all six of Anderlecht's shots on target and keep a clean sheet.
Kotarski, the FN MOM, kept the match goalless long enough for one late penalty to matter. Without those saves, Dinamo's stoppage-time goal would not have been a winner.

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.
