Key numbers

  • Lille xG 1.92, highest of nine matches this season
  • Galatasaray: 4 goals from 10 shots
  • 52' own goal worth +1.0 FN xPts to Galatasaray

Lille's lead lasted about five minutes

Lille hit back after conceding early, and Soriba Diaoune's goal in the 39th minute put them ahead. The lead lasted about five minutes. Galatasaray levelled before the break and scored twice more after it, even though Lille had taken the larger number of shots.

More shots, but no extra sting

Lille produced an xG of 1.92, the highest of their nine matches this season. Their shot volume rose above their average, yet their xG per shot of 0.13 matched it exactly. That suggests the extra volume brought no extra quality, which fits a side that created chances without finding the cleaner ones.

Galatasaray took their chances cleanly

Galatasaray outperformed their xG of 1.66 by 2.34, taking their chances far more cleanly than Lille. Yunus Akgün, Aleksey Batrakov and Victor Osimhen each scored from open play. Uğurcan Çakır made four saves to protect the lead, while Lille's Berke Özer made one.

One own goal tilted a level match

Berke Özer's own goal in the 52nd minute was worth +1.0 FN xPts to Galatasaray and −0.9 to Lille, the largest combined change of the match. It turned a level scoreline into a lead for the visitors. Victor Osimhen then stretched the gap to two goals.

Soriba Diaoune 8.4Dominant

He scored twice from three shots on target.

Most of his value came in attack. His goals levelled the match in the seventh minute and put Lille ahead in the 39th, and Lille's only time in front came from the second of them. He also completed three of five dribbles. Lille still conceded four, so his output was not turned into points.

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.
