Atalanta 4-4 Frosinone: Ghedjemis sets up three in a wild draw
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- xG 3.89 v 1.81: Atalanta had the better chances
- Frosinone conceded 4, their most in nine matches this season
- Ghedjemis: 3 assists, 7 key passes
Goals traded at a dizzying rate
Atalanta and Frosinone shared eight goals at New Balance Arena and finished 4-4. Frosinone struck first, but Nikola Krstović's brace and an assist helped put Atalanta 3-2 up at the break. Time in front was close to even: roughly 35 minutes for Atalanta, 29 for Frosinone.
Atalanta's shooting went well beyond the norm
Atalanta fired 22 shots, well above their average across seven matches this season. Their xG per shot was 0.18 against a season average of 0.08. That points to chances that were better than usual, not simply more of them, with the majority coming inside the box.
Frosinone's finishing outran their chances
Frosinone scored four goals from 1.81 xG, a clear overperformance. Farès Ghedjemis was involved in three of them, setting up three with a key-pass tally that was the highest of any player on the pitch. Without that supply, a side with modest chance quality would have struggled to stay in touch.
Late equaliser stung Atalanta more
Atalanta were still in front when Aleksa Terzić, a substitute, levelled in the 82nd minute from another Ghedjemis assist. The goal was worth +0.9 FN xPts to Frosinone, while Atalanta's FN xPts fell by 1.5, the largest combined change of the match, since the equaliser took a lead away from them.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Farès Ghedjemis 9.3Dominant
Three assists and seven key passes gave him a hand in three of Frosinone's four goals.
As FN MOM, Ghedjemis earned most of his FN Score through attacking work, and he backed the creativity with six shots, three on target. His assists arrived in the 17th, 48th and 82nd minutes: one put Frosinone back in front, and the other two dragged them level after Atalanta had edged ahead.

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.
