Belgium 1-0 Canada — xTears 10.71 (23/11/22)
Belgium won 1-0 against Canada on 23 November 2022 during Matchday 1 of the World Cup, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 10.71 xTears.
Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Belgium still ran through M. Batshuayi at 44' goal (+1.41 xT) and T. Buchanan at 9' penalty confirmed by VAR (+1.18 xT).
The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Belgium punished better without fully owning the emotional volume.
