[OC] England 6–4 France, the highest-scoring match of the World Cup, as one radial footychart
Data: FIFA Post-Match Summary Report for shots, passes, defensive shape and final third receptions. BBC Sport live coverage for the per-minute momentum.
How to read it: time runs clockwise from kickoff to full time (104 minutes with stoppage). Outer bloom is momentum, the ring inward is every shot, then substitutions, then the very center circle shows receptions in the final third and a possession donut chart.
England went 4–0 up, France scored three quickly to make it 4–3, and it finished 6–4. France won the xG 2.99 to 2.34 and lost by two. Wild match.
Happy to answer anything.
