Post-match analysis

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

Inter Miami CF and Charlotte FC drew 3–3. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.06 for Inter Miami CF and 1.73 for Charlotte FC. Inter Miami CF generated the higher xG total. Inter Miami CF scored +0.94 goals relative to xG and Charlotte FC scored +1.27 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Inter Miami CF registered 15 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Charlotte FC recorded 11 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 45.5%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (62.1%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
