AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 3.62, a season high across nine matches
- One shot faced, against a season average of 11.2
- Led for 69 minutes, trailed for none
An early goal, then 69 minutes in front
Roma beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, with goals in the 21st, 39th, 52nd and 58th minutes. Hermoso's opener put them ahead early, and they stayed in front for 69 minutes. Slovan spent none of the match leading.
Highest xG of the season, fewest shots faced
Roma's xG of 3.62 was the best of their nine matches this season, beating the previous high of 3.27. At the other end they faced only one shot, against a season average of 11.2. It points to a night when the attack created far more than usual while the defence barely had to engage.
Roma held the ball, Takáč held on
Possession of 73% was above Roma's previous season best of 67%. Slovan rarely had the ball for long, and goalkeeper Dominik Takáč made six saves yet still conceded four. Roma put 10 shots on target, which fits with that workload.
The 21st-minute goal broke the stalemate
The match was goalless until Hermoso scored in the 21st minute, set up by Daniele Ghilardi. That goal was worth +0.4 FN xPts to Roma, while Slovan's FN xPts fell by 0.3, the largest combined change of the match. Once it was 3-0, the later goals moved FN xPts by almost nothing.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Niccolò Pisilli 8.7Dominant
He created three chances, more than anyone on either side, and scored in the 52nd minute.
Pisilli earned FN MOM largely through his attacking work, combining three shots with three key passes and completing 77 of 79 passes. His goal in the 52nd minute stretched a 2-0 half-time lead to three, and Roma added a fourth from the penalty spot six minutes later. The match was effectively settled by then.

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.
