Chicago Fire 1–2 New England Revolution
What the chances were worth
The scoreline says 1–2; by chance quality the match ran 1.92–1.53.
The brain read
Chicago Fire created the better chances — the xG read 1.9–1.5 and the shot count agreed (22–4, 7–2 on target). Chicago Fire got into the box far more often (18 shots inside it to 3). Chicago Fire's finishing let them down — 1 from 1.9 xG despite 7 of 22 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 1–2 flatters New England Revolution — on chances created, Chicago Fire 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.
