Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Real Madrid won 4–1 against Sevilla. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 2.24 for Real Madrid and 0.75 for Sevilla. Real Madrid generated the higher xG total. Real Madrid scored +1.76 goals relative to xG and Sevilla scored +0.25 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Real Madrid registered 15 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 53.3%); Sevilla 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.
