Portland Timbers 5–4 Minnesota United FC
What the chances were worth
The scoreline says 5–4; by chance quality the match ran 2.54–2.41.
The brain read
Little between them on chances created — the xG read 2.5–2.4, shots 11–17 with 5–8 on target. Minnesota United FC got into the box far more often (15 shots inside it to 8). Portland Timbers's finishing ran hot — 5 from 2.5 xG, 5 of 11 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). On chances created the game was tighter than the 5–4 suggests.
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.
