Full time: FCN 0-2 Hertha
The Old Lady deservedly wins 2-0 away. The Franconians didn't even manage 1.0 xGoals, meaning they created too few chances. Hertha celebrates their third victory of the season.

Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal

No luck
Perfect move by FCN: Lubach is sent on his way by Jander, who runs to the byline and lays it off to the unmarked Pick. The ball bounces awkwardly for him before the shot and the finish is rather unlucky.

Nearly 2-0!
Maza gets a shot off from a position on the half-turn, but doesn't strike the ball hard enough, turning it into more of a pass for Cuisance, who only needed to tap it in. The Frenchman can't make contact with the ball and Knoche manages to clear it just before the goal line.

Half-time: Nuremberg 0-1 Hertha
Deserved lead for the visitors at half-time: Nürnberg creates little going forward, managing only two significant chances. The Franconians need to show more in the second half if they want to take anything from this match.

The visitors take the lead
The club from Berlin leads in Nuremberg. Maza beautifully breaks through on the left side, plays a through ball past three Nuremberg players to the onrushing Scherhant, who keeps his cool in front of Reichert, doesn't strike the ball cleanly but still manages to slide it past him.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The final pass
Both teams are still lacking any truly compelling chances, it's usually the final pass that doesn't find its man. Will there be a goal in the first half?
