Lech Poznan 1-1 Sunderland: 25 shots, one goal for the visitors

Key numbers

  • 25 shots, Sunderland's most in 10 matches this season
  • 11 saves for Lis kept Lech level
  • 70': Bengtsson's equaliser worth +0.9 FN xPts

One goal each despite heavy xG

Sunderland scored in the second minute through Timur Tuterov, Lech Poznan answered through Leo Bengtsson in the 70th, and the match finished 1-1. Both sides' expected goals were comfortably higher than their goal count, so this was a contest of chances wasted at both ends rather than one of control.

Sunderland's volume was well beyond their norm

Sunderland's 25 shots were the most of their 10 matches this season, against an average of 13.6. Their xG per shot matched that season average, which suggests the surge came through volume rather than better chances. Plenty of the efforts were on target, yet only Tuterov's early goal counted.

Lis kept Lech in it

Lech had less of the ball, but their xG per shot was higher than Sunderland's. Goalkeeper Mateusz Lis made 11 saves to hold the visitors to a single goal. Patrik Wålemark, meanwhile, had five shots and five key passes.

A substitute's goal levelled the match

Bengtsson's goal in the 70th minute was worth +0.9 FN xPts to Lech. For Sunderland, who had already taken Nilson Angulo off, the FN xPts change was −1.3, the largest combined move of the match. The man who levelled the score had come off the bench.

Nilson Angulo 8.1Dominant

He set up the opening goal and created five chances in 63 minutes.

Angulo's contribution was built in attack: five key passes and two successful dribbles from four attempts. His assist for Tuterov in the second minute gave Sunderland a lead they held for about 68 minutes. The FN MOM was substituted in the 63rd minute, before Lech equalised in the 70th.

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.
