Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 2.33 for Chapecoense and 0.64 for Mirassol.

Chapecoense scored about 1.3 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Mirassol made more of their chances than the xG suggests, by about 1.4 goals.

Chapecoense created the better chances, 2.33 xG to 0.64, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

Chapecoense had 4 shots on target, Mirassol 4.

Mirassol had 53% of the ball and turned it into the win.
