CONCLUSION

Central Cordoba SdE claimed the 1-0 win over San Lorenzo despite lower possession and facing the stronger rated opponent. The halftime score of 1-0 held through the second period without further goals. Expected goals favored the home side slightly at 1.16 to 0.91 which matched the actual result. Possession split of 38 to 62 percent did not translate into away dominance on the scoreboard. Absence of red cards kept the contest at eleven versus eleven throughout. The significant deviation by the winner occurred without efficiency shifts away from the data. Overall metrics supported the narrow victory for the home team in a low scoring encounter.
