Expected goals were 0.79 for Sassuolo and 3.39 for Lazio. Lazio generated the higher xG total. Sassuolo scored +1.21 goals relative to xG and Lazio scored +2.61 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Sassuolo registered 9 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 22.2%); Lazio recorded 16 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 50.0%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
