Ferencvarosi 2-1 Plzen: Zachariassen's brace after the break

Key numbers

  • Shots 12 v 18: won with fewer attempts
  • xG per shot 0.21 v 0.11
  • Six saves from the home keeper

Fewer shots, better ones

Ferencvarosi beat Plzen 2-1 after a goalless first half. Plzen had 18 shots to the hosts' 12, but shot quality favoured Ferencvarosi, whose xG per shot was 0.21 against 0.11. The home goalkeeper made six saves to protect the lead.

The opener moved the needle most

Kristoffer Zachariassen's goal in the 49th minute shifted the match more than anything else: it was worth +0.9 FN xPts to Ferencvarosi, while Plzen's FN xPts fell by −0.7. Zachariassen added a penalty in the 81st minute to make it 2-0, and Denis Višinský pulled one back in the 90th.

Kristoffer Zachariassen 8.3Dominant

He put three of his four shots on target and scored twice.

He broke the deadlock in the 49th minute and converted the 81st-minute penalty to make it 2-0. That second goal gave Ferencvarosi a cushion that survived Plzen's late reply.

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.
