Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 2.23 for Rubin Kazan and 0.60 for Krasnodar.

Rubin Kazan scored about 1.2 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Krasnodar made more of their chances than the xG suggests, by about 2.4 goals.

Rubin Kazan created the better chances, 2.23 xG to 0.60, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

Rubin Kazan had 3 shots on target, Krasnodar 8.

Rubin Kazan's goalkeeper made 5 saves.

Krasnodar had 71% 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.
