Goals against chances

HNK Gorica1 from 1.30 xGabout what the chances were worth
Rudes2 from 1.63 xGabout what 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.
