Castellón 2-1 Burgos — xTears 20.68 (01/03/25)

Castellón won 2-1 against Burgos on 1 March 2025 during Matchday 29 of Segunda División, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 20.68 xTears.

Álex Calatrava ended up carrying the main damage for Castellón through Álex Calatrava 85' goal (+2.18 xT) and then Álex Calatrava 39' goal (+1.41 xT).

The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Castellón punished better without fully owning the emotional volume. The pain was self-inflicted, and it stung: missed penalty (Curro Sánchez at 90+10'). The match lost its cool with 7 yellows and 1 red. Alberto Jiménez eventually walked for a second booking. The whistle kept getting involved under Álvaro Moreno, with 1 VAR call.
