Sestao River 4-3 Espanyol: Rojo's stoppage-time winner

Key numbers

  • 38% possession, yet Sestao won 4-3
  • 12 corners, a season high for Espanyol
  • Rojo's 120+1' goal: +2.0 FN xPts

Two deficits wiped out

Sestao River needed all 120 minutes to see off Espanyol 4-3. Espanyol scored first, from the penalty spot, but the hosts led by half-time through two goals set up by Eneko Delgado Ginés. A second penalty levelled the match late on, and Espanyol went in front again in extra time before Sestao hauled themselves back.

Plenty of possession, little reward

Espanyol held 62% of the ball, well above their season average, and a dozen corners were a season high for them. Yet the four goals they conceded were a season high too. Territory brought pressure, but it did not bring security.

Creativity from the bench

Sestao had far less of the ball and still created enough. Delgado Ginés assisted twice before going off in the first half, and Pau Miguélez then became the main creator, with five key passes, the most in the match, and the assist for the 98th-minute equaliser.

Rojo's goal came with the score level

Jon Rojo's goal in stoppage time at the end of extra time came with the score level, and it was worth +2.0 FN xPts to Sestao River, while Espanyol's FN xPts fell by −1.0. Espanyol's own lead had lasted only two minutes before the equaliser.

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.
