Auxerre in front for 50 minutes
Auxerre won 3-1 at Le Havre after scoring first in the 40th minute and doubling their lead in the 61st. Le Havre pulled one back in the 66th minute, but Auxerre struck again in the 80th. Overall they spent 50 of the 90 minutes in front, and the home side never led.
Fewer shots, better chances
Le Havre had 15 shots to Auxerre's 13, yet Auxerre's xG of 2.79 was well ahead of the hosts' 1.49. Their xG per shot of 0.21 compares with a six-match season average of 0.12. Le Havre had plenty of efforts from inside the box, but their xG per shot was only 0.10. The data suggests quality beat quantity, with Auxerre creating better chances from fewer attempts.
Nardi keeps the hosts to one
Le Havre put six shots on target and Paul Nardi made six saves, so the hosts scored once against an xG of 1.49. The 2.79 xG they conceded was above the 2.37 maximum from their previous six matches this season. The consolation came from Rayan Fofana, on from the 62nd minute, who scored in the 66th with Hakim Dongopandji assisting. Auxerre also committed 22 fouls, well above their six-match average of 14, yet still conceded only once.
Namaso involved in three goals
The biggest moment, with both sides' changes combined, was Danny Namaso's opener in the 40th minute. It was worth +0.9 FN xPts to Auxerre and −0.7 to Le Havre. After Le Havre cut the deficit to 1-2, Romain Faivre restored the two-goal margin in the 80th minute. Namaso scored twice and set up that final goal, so he was involved in all three of Auxerre's goals.

Danny Namaso 9.4Dominant

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.
