A 1–1 draw — the model had that at 21%. The decisive moment came late, in the 90th minute.
Cumulative expected goals, minute by minute. ESPN's free feed has no xG, so each shot's xG is estimated with a naive distance-and-angle logistic model fitted on shot coordinates from the play-by-play.
Pre-match Elo: Qatar 1680, Switzerland 1850. The model priced this Qatar 17% / draw 21% / Switzerland 61%, most likely score 0–1. Reality had other plans. The result moves 11 Elo points from Switzerland to Qatar — that flows straight into the next round of tournament simulations.
