AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 2.33 v 1.83, yet the goals went 1-3
- Como led for about 58 minutes
- 11 corners, a season high in eight matches
Como win with fewer shots than usual
Como won in Florence with fewer attempts than normal. Their 16 shots compare with a season average of 20.1 across eight matches, while Fiorentina managed 19. This was a victory built on sharper finishing rather than volume, and it came against the side who dominated the shot count.
Fiorentina's chances did not become goals
Fiorentina generated 2.33 xG but scored only once. Como outperformed their own xG by 1.17, turning 1.83 into three goals. Alieu Njie had four shots without one finding the target. The finishing told the story more clearly than any possession or shot count.
An early double set the tone
Como struck first in the 32nd minute, Mattia Liberali finishing from Maxence Caqueret's assist. The opener was worth +0.9 FN xPts to Como, while Fiorentina's FN xPts fell by 0.7, the largest combined change of the match. Nico Paz added a second in the 36th minute, set up by Álex Valle.
Fiorentina pulled one back and no more
Marin Pongračić cut the deficit to 1-2 in the 42nd minute, and a further Pongračić goal was cancelled by VAR deep into first-half stoppage time. Douvikas restored the cushion in the 56th minute from a Paz assist. Fiorentina's 11 corners were a season high in eight matches, against an average of 4.1, but Jean Butez made five saves and the hosts never found another goal.

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.
