The brain read

Sporting CP created the better chances — the xG read 3–0.1 and the shot count agreed (19–3, 8–2 on target). Sporting CP got into the box far more often (10 shots inside it to 0) and Sporting CP held 67% of the ball. Sporting CP's finishing let them down — 2 from 3 xG despite 8 of 19 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). On the balance of chances, the 2–0 reads fair.

A second opinion written by rule from the numbers on this page — where the shot picture and the xG disagree, it says so rather than picking a winner. Backward-looking only; it claims nothing about any future result.
