Argentina 2-1 Australia — xTears 9.89 (03/12/22)
Argentina won 2-1 against Australia on 3 December 2022 in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 9.89 xTears.
Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Argentina still ran through L. Messi 35' goal (+1.41 xT) and E. Fernández 77' own goal (+1.63 xT).
The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Argentina punished better without fully owning the emotional volume.
