Understanding the match statistics
Possession and passing
Possession shows each team's share of the ball. Pass completion compares completed passes with passes attempted. These figures help describe how a side played; they do not measure the quality of every chance.
Shots and shots on target
Shots on target are attempts that would score without a save or a goal-line intervention. A side can have more shots and still lose: where the chances came from matters too.
Fouls, cards and defensive actions
A foul does not always lead to a card. Tackles, interceptions, blocks and clearances describe different ways of stopping an attack. Read them alongside possession and the score.
