Montreal - Postmatch

Thinking about a Montreal away trip if there is a good weekend next year.

Sounds like it is worth it - despite the high school stadium. Agree?

So worth it. It's a fantastic city that is growing quickly. I've been several times and it's changed a lot. It's a must see.

From the good folks behind @GameFlowxPG. The taller the bar, the closer a given possession got to a good shooting position. The fatter it is, the longer one team controlled the ball (not accounting for stoppages of play).

Like you'd expect, it shows a choppy game with a little more control for NYCFC but not a lot of danger in either direction.

Montreal by far and away had the best chance (that long skinny bar at minute 27 or so) - that’s got to be their goal right?

But kind of shows that NYCFC had more of the ball, albeit useless, especially as the game went on.

I like this graph.

Also, NYCFC’s XG for this game was 0.22 - not including the OG.

0.22 is Colorado Rapids level of offensive excellence. 0.22!! Woof.

Most teams get to at least 1 xG for each game, if not more.

NYCFC's 0.26 xG (by ASA's model) was the sixth-lowest by any team this season. I was going to say it wasn't that bad because Berget would have gotten 0.3ish xG on that chance that produced Montreal's own goal, but I just rewatched and he had already whiffed on the ball. That's so Jo! TM

I like this chart. I would like it a lot more if possessions that ended in a shot were indicated.
 
Montreal Impact forward Ignacio Piatti has been fined an undisclosed amount after being found guilty of simulation/embellishment in the 11th minute of the Impact's game against New York City FC on Sept. 22.

Have fines for similar dives been handed out in the past?

That was definitely embellishment, but I feel like I've seen similar or worse that have gone unpunished, but it's definitely possible I've just missed any actions taken.

Well instead of fines, Atlanta United are handed on penalty kicks.
