Why it went this way
On the day the expected goals were 2.20 for Tigre and 1.27 for Rosario Central.
Tigre scored about 2.2 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Tigre's goalkeeper made 6 saves.
Rosario Central had 57% 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.
