The brain read
Excelsior created the better chances — the xG read 0.9–1.6 and the shot count agreed (16–13, 2–6 on target). Willem II's finishing let them down — 0 from 0.9 xG despite 2 of 16 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 0–3 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.
