The numbers backed the 2:0 scoreline, and that is usually bad news for anyone hoping to find a conspiracy. Mexico finished with 1.02 xG against Ecuador’s 0.73, a modest but clear edge, and the match landed at a Crime Index of 45%. Nothing exotic here: the better side did enough, then left the scene tidy.
The key finding is brutal: Czechia had more of the ball, more corners, and more total shots, yet produced just 0.47 xG and only 1 shot on target, while Mexico turned less possession into 1.79 xG and 3 goals.
