England 6-2 Iran — xTears 19.48 (21/11/22)
England turned the 6-2 over Iran on 21 November 2022 into a rout during Matchday 1 of the World Cup, although the flow stayed more open than the scoreline suggests. Total damage: 19.48 xTears.
The rout started to open through J. Bellingham 35' goal (+1.41 xT) and widened for good with R. Sterling 45+1' goal (+1.20 xT).
The rout was not as clean as it looks: M. Taremi still landed damage and the xTears split finished far more balanced than the scoreline says. The bench changed the match in one move: J. Grealish and C. Wilson at 90'.
