The heaviest match was Sonderjyske 2–3 Midtjylland with 5 goals. 5 of 6 matches had both clubs scoring, 2 went over 2.5 goals, and 1 clubs failed to score. 2 goals came before half-time and 15 after it; 1 arrived inside the first 15 minutes and 0 after the 75th. The earliest goal of the round came in minute 10, the latest in minute 75. 1 of the 15 goals were penalties and 0 were own goals; the round produced 14 yellow cards and 0 red. The minute-by-minute feed carries 15 of the 17 goals, so every count in this paragraph is a floor, not a total; the scores and half-time scores above are complete.

Goals against xG

xG is the provider's shot-quality model, not ours; we publish it because it is the same measure across every match here. One matchday is far too small to call anyone lucky — this is a record of what happened, not a verdict.

Club	Opponent	Goals	xG	Goals − xG	Conceded	xG faced	Saved against xG
Midtjylland	Sonderjyske	3	0.73	+2.27	2	1.30	-0.70
FC Copenhagen	Lyngby	3	1.47	+1.53	2	2.44	+0.44
Sonderjyske	Midtjylland	2	1.30	+0.70	3	0.73	-2.27
Randers FC	Silkeborg	1	0.60	+0.40	1	1.09	+0.09
Brondby	Aarhus	1	0.91	+0.09	1	1.62	+0.62
Silkeborg	Randers FC	1	1.09	-0.09	1	0.60	-0.40
Lyngby	FC Copenhagen	2	2.44	-0.44	3	1.47	-1.53
Horsens	Nordsjaelland	1	1.61	-0.61	1	2.70	+1.70
Aarhus	Brondby	1	1.62	-0.62	1	0.91	-0.09
Viborg	Odense	1	2.04	-1.04	0	1.72	+1.72
Nordsjaelland	Horsens	1	2.70	-1.70	1	1.61	+0.61
Odense	Viborg	0	1.72	-1.72	1	2.04	+1.04

Midtjylland scored 2.27 goals more than the model expected of their chances; Odense scored 1.72 fewer. The last column is the same subtraction at the other end: how many goals a club conceded against the xG of the shots it faced.

One column we removed. The feed also carries a field called “goals prevented”, which looks like a goalkeeping measure. In all 6 matches of this round it is identical for both clubs (Viborg–Odense +0.28, Aarhus–Brondby +0.71, Sonderjyske–Midtjylland -0.79, and so on), so it cannot be a per-club number and we do not publish it rather than guess at what it means.

Scorers and assists

10 of the 17 goals have an assist recorded against them. Assists come from the full match archive where it has arrived (6 matches) and from the live event feed otherwise, which records fewer of them — so this is a floor, not a count.

Where these numbers come from

Our own database, built from the same feed every match here uses. Team figures for 6 of 6 matches, goals and cards by minute for all 6, player-level detail for 6. Crowds and referees are as published for the 6 matches that carry them (51,576 people in total, 8,596 on average). Nothing on this page is a projection.

What is missing, stated plainly. the event feed is missing 2 of the 17 goals, so goal minutes, penalties and the scorer table are floors.

The rest of the season on the same data: all 12 clubs, their matches and their players · the free season packs.
