i like the visual, but it would be better with some labels showing count of disallowed goals, shots, % of possession, etc. Nice job btw

Why is this visualization better than sharing the raw numbers?

Because OP is probably butthurt Argentinian wanting to say his team is better, failing to realize the only metric that matters is number of goals

The 2nd goal was an amazing shot where defenders just failed to realize the threat, the keeper still managed to get fingers to it but not enough of the ball. The 1st goal took a deflection and was on both the keeper and defender.

Yea just an amazing second shot and general lack of awareness defensively.

Was there any controversy with the 3 disallowed goals?

One was a very close offside but the rest were clearly offside. Argentina took them lightly and paid dearly.

There shouldn't be. Disallowed goals are just offsides that were allowed to continue.

If ever there were going to be a graphic representation of bribery in action, I expect it would look like this...

It's such a pity that the only KPI in a soccer game is the number of goals.

The randomness in match outcomes from football’s key KPI is one of the things I love about the game!

Impressive from Saudi Arabia. Apart from all the controversies, the team played really well.

All this is useful for gamblers, not fans. In football, the only relevant statistics to know how well a team played (besides the score) is how often it shot to goal. It's really hard to win if you barely shoot, even using catenaccio strategy, but ball possession or heat maps can say nothing about the game depending on the strategies chosen.

For example: if you score 2 goles in 20 minutes, the other team is going to spend 70 minutes trying to even the score. The ball will be in your half 75+% of the game, ball possession will be theirs 70%, their passes accuracy will be high since passes far from the box are more accurate (less risks taken), they will have less fouls since fouls are committed usually to get the ball, not to keep it, but if they don't shoot, that means your team played better because you had everything under control.

Argentina played well, but the SA defenders formed a solid line, they used physical contact often but without violence, the Arabian GK had a dream game and their attackers were at the right speed. It was a well deserved victory.
