Six goals, a season high for the visitors
Real Sociedad won 6-0 at Lillestrom, a season high for goals across their 11 matches so far. Their average this season is 1.7 a game, which puts the scale of this win well outside their normal range. The hosts, for their part, never found the net, despite producing enough chances to suggest a closer match.
Similar chances, very different finishing
Chance quality was close: both sides averaged 0.14 xG per shot. The difference came down to execution. Real Sociedad outperformed their xG by 3.75, and half of their shots were on target. Lillestrom's efforts on target were few, and Unai Marrero made only two saves.
Oyarzabal set up all three first-half goals
Sergio Gómez's opener was worth +0.7 FN xPts to Real Sociedad, while Lillestrom's FN xPts fell by 0.6, the largest combined change of the match. Gómez added a second almost immediately and Luka Sučić made it three before the interval. Mikel Oyarzabal supplied the final pass for each, and every one of his key passes ended in a goal.
The second half only added to the margin
Lillestrom had a chance to reduce the deficit in the 50th minute, but T. Lehne Olsen missed a penalty with the score at 0-3. The goals that followed, from Orri Steinn Óskarsson, Sučić and Arsen Zakharyan, arrived with the contest long settled and carried almost no FN xPts value. Óskarsson and Zakharyan both scored after coming on as substitutes, taking the scoreline to 6-0.

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.
