New England Revolution: match results and statistics

2:1

Three shots all night and two goals on the board — against twenty-four shots and just one goal for the opponent. Toronto FC beat New England Revolution 2:1 while trailing on expected goals, 0.24 to 2.22 in the visitors' favor — a gap of nearly two goals that should have produced a very different result, and instead produced the exact opposite.

0:2

Nine. That is how many corners New England Revolution won at home and converted into precisely nothing.

2:2

By the 59th minute, New England Revolution had turned this into something resembling a chess clock running out on the wrong side — every piece in the right square, every threat converted, and somehow the scoreboard still refused to say what it should.

4:1

Both teams walked out in 4-2-3-1, mirror images on the team sheet, the kind of shape parity that usually promises a tight, technical afternoon. What followed instead was a home side finishing with 46% possession and four goals, an away side finishing with 54% possession and one.

4:6

For forty-five minutes, between Rice’s early strike and Mbappe’s reply at 48, England held a lead that made the eventual 4:6 scoreline feel straightforward. That is the casual reading: England scored six, England were better. The numbers complicate it.

4:2

England beat Croatia 4-2, backing up a massive xG edge (3.2 to 0.7).

0:0

England and Ghana played out a 0-0 draw in the Round of 32, even though the hosts were overwhelming favorites on both possession (79% to 21%) and xG (1.36 to 0.17).

1:2

At 55 minutes, Gordon gave England the sort of lead that invites an immediate overreaction: one goal, one clenched fist, and suddenly every earlier difficulty can be filed under “character.” It was a useful goal, not a transforming one.

1:2

No late Norwegian equaliser arrived, despite the score remaining open long enough for one to be expected; instead, Bellingham struck at 93 to turn England’s modest superiority into a 1:2 result.

2:3

England took the match on the terms that matter most in tournament football: not by owning the ball, not by filling the page with volume, but by striking first, striking again immediately, and then surviving the part of the evening that should have dragged them under.

2:1

For seventy-five minutes this game flirted with the round's biggest upset, then ended with its most predictable outcome. England beat Congo DR 2:1, and the model barely raises an eyebrow: the anomaly score sits at 17%.

0:2

Two-thirds of the ball and seventeen shots: England''s evening ran to a familiar script. Panama''s resistance was honest — four saves, eight attempts from inside the box — but honesty only covers so much. It ended 0:2 at a 45% Crime Index.
