The brain read
NEC Nijmegen created the better chances — the xG read 1.9–1.5 and the shot count agreed (22–9, 9–3 on target). NEC Nijmegen got into the box far more often (16 shots inside it to 5). A draw on the scoreboard, but on chances created NEC Nijmegen shaded the game.
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.
