The brain read
Little between them on chances created — the xG read 1.6–1.8, shots 13–16 with 6–3 on target. Benfica held 62% of the ball. On chances created the game was tighter than the 1–2 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.
