Post-match analysis

Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.

Club Necaxa won 1–0 against Club Tijuana. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.24 for Club Necaxa and 1.69 for Club Tijuana. Club Tijuana generated the higher xG total. Club Necaxa scored -0.24 goals relative to xG and Club Tijuana scored -1.69 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Club Necaxa registered 17 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 29.4%); Club Tijuana recorded 18 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 16.7%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
