Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.56 for Beşiktaş and 2.07 for İstanbul Başakşehir.

Beşiktaş scored about 1.4 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

İstanbul Başakşehir left about 2.1 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

İstanbul Başakşehir created the better chances, 2.07 xG to 0.56, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

Beşiktaş had 6 shots on target, İstanbul Başakşehir 4.

Beşiktaş had 65% of the ball and turned it into the win.
