The scoreline says 2–1; by chance quality the match ran 1.20–2.22.

The brain read

Atlanta United FC created the better chances — the xG read 1.2–2.2 and the shot count agreed (11–19, 6–6 on target). Atlanta United FC got into the box far more often (12 shots inside it to 7). New York City FC's finishing ran hot — 2 from 1.2 xG, 6 of 11 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 2–1 flatters New York City FC — on chances created, Atlanta United FC 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.
