Statistics Richards Bay vs Polokwane City
Match 1st Half 2nd Half

0.72	Expected goals (xG) Expected goals xG - measures the quality of a scoring chance and the probability of it becoming a goal. It's calculated from factors like shot location, angle, distance, assist type, and defensive pressure. Each shot gets a value from 0 to 1; a team's total xG is the sum of all its shots. A penalty is usually worth ~0.79–0.80. Higher xG = better chances, regardless of whether goals were actually scored.	0.88
53%	Ball possession	47%
14	Total shots	18
7	Shots on goal	3
5	Shots off goal	10
5	Shots inside the Box	11
9	Shots outside the Box	7
0.83	xG on target (xGOT) xG on target (xGOT) - measures the likelihood that a shot on target results in a goal. Unlike xG (which evaluates the chance before the shot), xGOT assesses execution - shot placement, goalkeeper position, etc. - after the ball is struck. Only shots on target are included, each valued 0–1. A team's total xGOT is the sum of all its on-target shots.	0.29

1.02	Expected assists (xA) Expected assists (xA) - measures the likelihood that a completed pass will become an assist for a goal. It evaluates the quality of the pass based on factors like its placement, trajectory, speed, the receiver's position, defensive pressure, and the overall attacking context. Each key pass receives a value between 0 and 1; a player's or team's total xA is the sum of these values. Higher xA indicates better chance creation, even if the subsequent shot is missed or saved.	0.87
3/13 (23%)	Crosses	9/26 (35%)
3	Goalkeeper saves	7
0.29	xGOT faced xGOT faced - total number of goals a goalkeeper would be expected to concede based on the volume and quality of on-target shots faced. Each shot's quality is assessed using post-shot factors: placement, goalkeeper positioning, shot speed, etc. xGOT Faced for a team equals the opposing team's total xGOT from shots on target. It serves as the benchmark for calculating Goals Prevented.	0.83
0.29	Goals prevented Goals prevented - measures how many goals a goalkeeper saved compared to expectation. It is calculated as the difference between xGOT Faced (the total post-shot expected goals of all on-target shots faced) and the actual number of goals conceded (excluding own goals). A higher positive value indicates the goalkeeper performed above average, preventing more goals than expected from the quality of shots faced. A negative value means more goals were conceded than the shots "deserved.	0.83

0.38	Expected goals (xG) Expected goals xG - measures the quality of a scoring chance and the probability of it becoming a goal. It's calculated from factors like shot location, angle, distance, assist type, and defensive pressure. Each shot gets a value from 0 to 1; a team's total xG is the sum of all its shots.
