The brain read

Little between them on chances created — the xG read 1–0.6, shots 16–11 with 4–4 on target. AC Milan got into the box far more often (8 shots inside it to 5). AC Milan's finishing let them down — 0 from 1 xG despite 4 of 16 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 0–2 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.
