FC Dallas 4–3 Sporting Kansas City
What the chances were worth
The scoreline says 4–3; by chance quality the match ran 2.10–2.87.
The brain read
Sporting Kansas City created the better chances — the xG read 2.1–2.9 and the shot count agreed (15–26, 10–10 on target). Sporting Kansas City got into the box far more often (15 shots inside it to 11). FC Dallas's finishing ran hot — 4 from 2.1 xG, 10 of 15 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 4–3 flatters FC Dallas — on chances created, Sporting Kansas City shaded it.
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.
