  • xG per shot 0.05, lowest in 11 matches this season
  • Cedidla won 11 of 15 duels for Jablonec

Plenty of shooting, little that hurt Jablonec

Brighton had the ball for long spells in Jablonec nad Nisou, yet the match finished goalless. They managed 20 shots but only three were on target. Jablonec, with far less of the ball, still put half of their efforts on target, so Bart Verbruggen had work to do at the other end.

Brighton's shot quality was a season low

Brighton's xG per shot of 0.05 was the lowest of their 11 matches this season, and their shots on target and total xG were a season low as well. Eight of their shots came from outside the box, which helps explain why the volume brought so little. A side that had been scoring freely drew a blank.

Jablonec won enough of the small battles

Jablonec rarely kept hold of the ball, but they stood firm in the duels. Martin Cedidla won 11 of his 15 contests, and Nelson Okeke made more defensive actions than anyone on the pitch. Most of their shots came inside the box, and their xG per shot of 0.08 was higher than Brighton's despite far fewer attempts.

A rotated Brighton lacked a cutting edge

Brighton named eight new starters. Georginio Rutter and Ibrahim Osman shot four times apiece, though Osman never hit the target, while Olivier Boscagli and Pascal Groß created chances before both were replaced in the 68th minute. The final touch never arrived.

Olivier Boscagli 7.7Strong

The FN MOM completed 68 of 79 passes and created four chances in 68 minutes.

Boscagli won all five of his duels and drove the ball forward from defence, supplying chances the forwards could not convert. Brighton were still without a goal when he was replaced in the 68th minute, and none arrived after that, so his work on the ball left no mark on the scoreline.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth

No goals, red cards or missed penalties, so no FN xPts moments in this match.

FK Jablonec Expected (no record yet, starting estimate) 0.8Own moments 0.0Opponent moments 0.0Time effect +0.2→ League points won 1
Brighton Expected (last two seasons) 1.9Own moments 0.0Opponent moments 0.0Time effect −0.9→ League points won 1

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.
