Kinsombi could have decided the game there. He asserts himself strongly against two Hertha players in the middle, goes into the penalty area, shoots. But Ernst parries outstandingly and keeps Hertha in the game.

Not struck cleanly
A deflected cross from Demme comes to Schuler at the six-yard box. The striker takes the ball down with his back to goal, turns - but doesn't catch it cleanly.

Hertha pulls one back!
What a great solo effort from Maza. He turns with the ball on the left edge of the box around Castaneda, then cuts inside - and curls a beautiful right-footed shot into the far corner to make it 1-2.
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.

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).
