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.

The result against the call

Twente and Ajax drew 2–2. The model had leaned towards a win for Twente at 45% and given a draw 27%. At that figure it expects the outcome about once in every 4 matches like this one. The goals: Tolu Arokodare 3' for Ajax, Rayane Bounida 66' for Ajax, Dies Janse (own goal) 68' for Twente, Wout Weghorst (penalty) 90+5' for Twente. On expected goals it finished 2.56–0.72.

What this result changed

Before kick-off the season simulation gave Twente a 16.0% chance to finish top of the regular season: 20.0% after a win, 13.8% after a draw, 10.4% after a defeat. The draw was the middle one of the three, and left the figure at 13.8%, 2.2 points lower than before the match.

For Ajax the question was the chance to finish in the top four, 78.2% going in: 84.2% after a win, 80.1% after a draw, 74.4% after a defeat. The draw was the middle one of the three, and left the figure at 80.1%, 1.9 points higher than before the match.
