GoalPoint Analysis

Benfica defeated Sporting this Sunday, by 2-1, in a match on the 11th round of the Betclic League. GoalPoint took a lot of interesting data and decided to highlight these five:
1,7
Benfica created 2 Expected Goals (1.7 xG) against Sporting’s 1 (0.7), an indicator that ends up justifying the outcome of the derby, but… 0.95 were added to the two comeback shots, from Neves and Tengstedt .
17
Once again… João Neves. In a few years we will only talk about the goal, but the young midfielder was one of the few Red players who was on top from start to finish, winning 17 duels and adding 15 defensive actions. Everywhere.
9
Morato was the epicenter of Schmidt’s surprise for the derby, playing at left-back, and it is clear that the surprise went very well. The Brazilian assisted on the equalizer, but along the way he won 13 duels and equaled the League’s maximum in tackles, with nine.
16
Edwards was sacrificed early, in the 57th minute. The Englishman didn’t do everything well, but coming out of a derby without missing a single pass (out of 16, two of them for shots, one for Gyökeres’ great goal) is not for everyone. And he also made four progressive forays with the ball.
5
There were five progressive ‘rides’ (reducing the initial distance to the goal by more than 25%) by Gyökeres. The Swede not only scored a goal, but once again seemed tireless, always keeping the Red defense on target.
