Goals against chances

Al-Hilal3 from 2.30 xGmore than the chances were worth
Al-Ittihad2 from 1.15 xGmore than the chances were worth

Expected goals totals what the openings were worth, so the gap between it and the score is the finishing — and the luck. Under half a goal either way is called level: xG is an estimate and a smaller gap than that is inside its own error.
