Read a match report

A match report explains the result and gives the league something to talk about.

What it shows

• xG: how good the chances a team created were, measured against the game's own scoring. Higher xG usually means better openings, but a team can still lose. It is tuned to this game's scale, so read it as a guide within your league rather than a real-football figure.
• Player ratings: performance in that match, not permanent ability.
• Reason tags: factors that shaped the match (tactical mismatch, strong keeper, low fitness, late goal). They explain, they don't excuse.

Results, tables, and transfers are kept in history. Your league builds a shared record over time.
