Arouca Rout Moreirense 4:0 With a Conversion Rate Triple Their xG
xG of 2.14 to 0.49 — an advantage of more than four to one that, in most matches, would translate into a one- or two-goal win, not a 4:0 rout. Arouca scored almost double what their own underlying numbers said they should, and that combination — not overwhelming territorial dominance but extreme finishing efficiency — is what makes this match a statistical outlier: Bravsen's model rates a gap this wide between xG and the final score at roughly 13% probability.
Guimaraes 0:1 Arouca: How Did One Shot Beat Twenty-Four?
Arouca won this match with a single shot on target, and the honest answer is that Guimaraes lost it long before Barbero ever touched the ball. Twenty-four shots, sixteen from inside the box, an xG column reading 2.22 against 0.49 — and still the scoreboard in Guimaraes read 0:1 at the final whistle.
