Post-match analysis

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

Expected goals were 0.73 for Famalicão and 0.35 for FC Arouca. Famalicão generated the higher xG total. Famalicão scored +0.27 goals relative to xG and FC Arouca scored -0.35 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Famalicão registered 14 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 35.7%); FC Arouca recorded 7 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 42.9%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
