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 0.75 for Mirassol and 3.43 for Internacional.
Mirassol scored about 1.3 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.
Internacional left about 3.4 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.
Internacional created the better chances, 3.43 xG to 0.75, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.
Mirassol had 7 shots on target, Internacional 4.
Internacional's goalkeeper made 5 saves.
Mirassol had 61% 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.
