Sevilla 1-2 Girona — xTears 13.27 (26/08/23)

Girona won 1-2 against Sevilla on 26 August 2023 during Matchday 3 of La Liga, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 13.27 xTears.

Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Girona still ran through Y. Herrera 16' goal (+1.41 xT) and Aleix García 56' goal (+1.52 xT).

The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Girona punished better without fully owning the emotional volume. The real gut punch came when VAR wiped the joy away: penalty overturned by VAR (I. Rakitić at 90') and goal ruled out by VAR (I. Rakitić at 62').
