Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.26 for Olympique Marseille and 2.17 for Strasbourg.

Olympique Marseille scored about 3.7 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Olympique Marseille had 8 shots on target, Strasbourg 2.

Olympique Marseille had 67% 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.
