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.
Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

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).

They've got one back!
Schleusener scores against his former club. Is there a way back for Fortuna? Zimmermann's pinpoint corner is met by the head of the Fortuna striker, who makes a strong connection with the ball to give the hosts a small amount of hope.

Attacking changes
With the threat that Fortuna have posed in the last few minutes, Schuster responds by bringing on Matanović and Scherhant in place of Grifo and Suzuki, who have been excellent tonight.

Grifo!
He goes close for Freiburg yet again! They work is brilliantly to Freiburg's No.32 on the left. He cuts inside, feints past two Fortuna defenders before unleashing a curling effort towards goal, which is met by an equally impressive save from Lord.
67'
Wide!
That's one of the clearest sights on goal that Fortuna have had. Freiburg lose the ball in a dangerous position which leads to a 4v3 situation in the hosts' favour. The ball is eventually played wide to Müller, who fizzes his effort narrowly wide of Backhaus' near post.
64'
Clever
Suzuki picks up the ball in a dangerous position and tries to thread a through ball through to Höler, but Fortuna are alert to the situation and manage to clear it for a corner, which doesn't amount to anything.

Fortuna blink first
The hosts make two changes, with Paulina replacing Hottmann in attack, while Van der Sloot enters the fray in place of Risch.

Offside
Lord plays Fortuna into danger. His pass finds Freiburg's Grifo, who is unable to get his shot away but the ball eventually lands at the feet of Höler, who is flagged offside after the ball deflected off Grifo.
49'
Grifo!
Beste progresses the ball brilliantly down the right. He eventually drives a low cross into the path of Grifo, who strikes the ball first time but the Freiburg legend, celebrating a recent contract extension, fires narrowly over.
48'
On the charge
Zimmermann wins a corner, of which is played short, and eventually crossed by Risch, but Freiburg are able to eventually clear after a short game of head tennis.

We go again
Fortuna are still in the mix, and they get the second period under way.

Half-time approaching
Freiburg are happy to keep possession with the break just around the corner. Without needing to get out of first gear, they've done well to manage this tie against Fortuna who, apart from Oberdorf's earlier effort, have rarely troubled Backhaus in the Freiburg goal.
38'
Frustration building
The referee waves away Schleusener's appeals for a free-kick after Backhaus collected the ball after the Fortuna forward thought had Lienhart purposefully played the ball back to his goalkeeper. Seconds later, Hottmann concedes a needless free-kick.

Suzuki denied!
Wow! A gorgeous move met by a sensational save. Freiburg play the ball through the middle and Eggestein so elegantly flicks the ball into the path of Suzuki, who, with only the 'keeper to beat, forces an excellent save from Lord.
27'
In search of an equaliser
Fortuna have seen a lot more of the ball in the last couple of minutes, but they're unable to find a way through Freiburg's resilient defence, who remain in a strong shape.
23'
First caution
Frieburg's Suzuki earns the game's first booking. He loses the ball before bringing down Hendrix to halt an attack.
22'
Inviting pressure
Since going behind, Fortuna have been unable to get out of their half. The visitors are dominating possession now.
Poacher's finish!

Promising start
After withstanding early pressure, Düsseldorf are growing into the game. In search of an opening, they're calm on the ball. But eventually Freiburg are able to win it back.
