Falkirk FC won 2–0 against Celtic. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.99 for Falkirk FC and 2.77 for Celtic. Celtic generated the higher xG total. Falkirk FC scored +1.01 goals relative to xG and Celtic scored -2.77 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Falkirk FC registered 6 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Celtic recorded 24 shots, with 9 on target (shot accuracy: 37.5%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
