📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Santos beat Flamengo 1-0 at Estadio Urbano Caldeira, Regular Season - 14, in the Serie A. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Santos 0.84 xG and Flamengo 1.23 xG, a combined 2.07. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Flamengo landed 1.2 under their projected return.
