AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- Eight shots, Juve's fewest in 10 matches
- xG per shot 0.14 vs 0.06
- Vicario made four saves for the clean sheet
A away win wrapped up before the break
Juventus won 2-0 at Lecce, with Weston McKennie scoring in the 29th minute and Douglas Luiz adding a second in the 41st. Nothing followed after half-time, so the visitors spent 61 minutes in front. Lecce never led, and Kialonda Gaspar was sent off in the 94th minute.
Juventus won with half their usual shots
Juventus had only eight shots, their fewest in ten league and cup matches this season and well below their average of 16.6. They still won comfortably, which is the standout feature of this fixture. They also allowed 16 shots, almost double their average of 8.8.
Lecce had the volume, Juve the quality
Lecce's shots were worth 0.06 xG each, compared with 0.14 for Juventus. The total xG was close, 1.02 for Lecce against 1.13 for Juventus, so Lecce's shooting was less dangerous per attempt. Jhon Lucumí, one of two defenders to come into Juve's side, made three interceptions.
McKennie's opener put Juventus in control
McKennie's 29th-minute opener was worth +0.8 FN xPts to Juventus, while Lecce's FN xPts fell by 0.6. Luiz supplied the assist, then scored the second himself from a Federico Gatti pass. After that, Guglielmo Vicario made four saves to protect the two-goal lead.

Douglas Luiz 8.6Dominant
He scored once, assisted once and created two chances, so he was involved in both goals.
Douglas Luiz was FN MOM, and the decisive thing was his hand in both goals: he set up McKennie's 29th-minute opener and scored the second himself after Gatti's pass. He also completed 64 of 78 passes. Because both goals came before half-time, Juventus were able to spend 61 minutes in front.

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.
