Moneyball's prediction against the result

Moneyball did not publish a pre-match estimate for this match, so there is nothing to mark it against.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 2.68 for Casa Pia and 0.26 for Benfica.

Casa Pia scored about 2.7 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Benfica made more of their chances than the xG suggests, by about 6.7 goals.

Casa Pia created the better chances, 2.68 xG to 0.26, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

Casa Pia had 0 shots on target, Benfica 8.

Benfica had 64% of the ball and turned it into the win.

A red card changed the shape of the match, and no pre-match model can see one coming.
