Marseille turned it around before the break
Angers went ahead through Lilian Raolisoa in the 14th minute, but Marseille hit back twice before the break to lead 2-1 at half-time. Three more goals followed after the restart, and by the end the visitors had spent roughly 47 minutes in front.
The 37th-minute equaliser changed the match
Himad Abdelli's equaliser, created by Timothy Weah, was worth +0.8 FN xPts to Marseille, while Angers' FN xPts changed by −0.9, the largest combined movement of the match. Nouhoum Kamissoko then turned a level game into a lead in the 43rd minute, with Emerson providing the assist.
Volume, not quality, drove the shot count
Marseille's 21 shots were the most of their season so far, well beyond the previous best of 14. Yet their xG per shot of 0.13 matched their season average, which suggests the attack won through sheer volume rather than sharper chances. It was a clear step up from their usual output.
Angers' penalty reply was undone late on
Angers pulled one back through Amine El Ouazzani's penalty, but Amine Harit and Igor Paixão scored in the 83rd and 85th minutes to close the match out. Angers' xG per shot of 0.19 equalled their highest this season, so the home side's chances were of decent quality; they simply took fewer of them.

Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Timothy Weah 8.8Dominant
Two assists, two key passes and six defensive actions.
Weah's two assists led to the 37th-minute equaliser that made it 1-1 and the 85th-minute goal that made it 2-5, so his passing touched both the start of the comeback and its final goal. Most of his points came from creating, but three interceptions, two tackles, a block and 46 completed passes from 49 show he did plenty at the other end too.

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.
