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.

What this result changed

Before kick-off the season simulation gave Flamengo a 60.5% chance to win the league: 66.3% after a win, 49.9% after a draw, 45.0% after a defeat. The win was the best of those results for them, and left the figure at 66.3%, 5.8 points higher than before the match.

For Atletico Mineiro the question was the chance to finish in the top four: 42.4% after a win, 26.9% after a draw, 19.1% after a defeat. The defeat was the worst of those results for them, and left the figure about where it was, at 19.1%.

Read from our Serie A season simulation as it stood before this match (10,000 runs), counting this result alone. Every result since then has moved the table again, so today's figure is on the competition page.
