Seattle Sounders 0–1 Houston Dynamo
What the chances were worth
The scoreline says 0–1; by chance quality the match ran 2.02–0.32.
The brain read
Seattle Sounders created the better chances — the xG read 2–0.3 and the shot count agreed (21–2, 5–1 on target). Seattle Sounders got into the box far more often (11 shots inside it to 2) and Seattle Sounders held 70% of the ball. Seattle Sounders's finishing let them down — 0 from 2 xG despite 5 of 21 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 0–1 flatters Houston Dynamo — on chances created, Seattle Sounders 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.
