AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 7 shots on target, up on a 4.3 season average
- Osasuna: 56% possession, 2 shots on target
- Fofana assisted both goals
A clean sheet with less of the ball
Sevilla beat Osasuna 2-0 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, and they did it with the smaller share of possession. After Isaac's opener in the 24th minute, they led for roughly 66 of the 90 minutes and secured a clean sheet without ever being pegged back.
More shots on target than usual
Sevilla put seven efforts on target, the most in their nine matches this season and well above the 4.3 they had averaged. They also won more corners than usual. Their xG per shot was below their season average, though, which suggests the improvement came in accuracy rather than in the quality of each attempt.
Osasuna had the ball but few shots on target
Osasuna held 56 per cent of the ball, above their season average, but managed only two shots on target. Aitor Fernández made five saves to keep the visitors in touch, yet Sevilla still found the net twice. Plenty of possession did not turn into a sustained threat on goal.
Isaac's opener set the course
Isaac's goal in the 24th minute was worth +0.8 FN xPts to Sevilla, while Osasuna's FN xPts fell by 0.7. Fofana set up both goals, the second of them for Félix Correia late on, which made it 2-0 and effectively closed the match.
FN MOM

Félix Correia 7.9Strong
He scored once, took three shots and made four interceptions.
Félix Correia's FN MOM case rests mainly on attack: a goal, three shots and a key pass. He also made four interceptions, a healthy amount of ball-winning for a midfielder who ended up on the scoresheet. His goal in the 82nd minute doubled a lead Sevilla had held since the 24th minute.

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.
