Small sample: one match proves nothing.How we judge this
FotMob referee figures are a snapshot captured when the match was fetched, not a historical record frozen at kick-off. “Fewer”, “about usual”, and “more” use an 80% Poisson band: expected count ± 1.28 × √expected. The whistle test compares match fouls with the referee average; the pocket test scales the referee's yellow-card rate to this match's foul count.

- Bengaluru FC won 3‑2, but they also fired 27 shots – almost triple Delhi’s 10 – and held 64% of possession against Delhi’s 36%, showing how much more they were pushing the ball forward.
- The 2.97 expected‑goals (xG) for Bengaluru vs 1.85 for Delhi simply tells us Bengaluru created the higher‑quality chances (about 1.6 better shots on average). Delhi’s shots were more efficient, however: 6 on target out of 10 vs Bengaluru’s 16 on target out of 27, so Delhi hit the net more often when they got a chance.
- Borja Martínez was the match’s star: 9 shots that produced 0.69 expected goals, and he finished with a 9.3 rating while scoring both of Bengaluru’s goals – no assists needed!
- Bengaluru’s 512 accurate passes (vs Delhi’s 279) and 13 accurate crosses (Delhi had none) turned into 5 big chances (Delhi had 2). Bengaluru’s 5 missed big chances (4 missed) explain why they still only scored 3, despite more quality opportunities.
- Delhi’s 37 clearances vs Bengaluru’s 10 show Delhi forced more defensive work, yet Bengaluru’s 10 clearances and 10 interceptions kept the pressure on, proving that possession, accurate passing, and more chances usually translate into more goals – even if Delhi’s conversion rate was higher.
