Here is a look at the xG (expected goals) stats from Argentina vs Croatia on December 13, 2022 (first World Cup semifinal).
Croatia had more possession and shots than Argentina, but the superior quality of the Albiceleste’s chances shows here on the shots map, and they were comfortable winners at the end. They scored three goals, and could’ve scored three more- all very good chances. Only two of Croatia’s shots were on target- another indicator that they didn’t really threaten Emi Martinezin goal.
