In the 12th round of the Turkish Super League, Nuri Shahin's Istanbul Bashakshehir suffered a 4-3 defeat. The captain of the Uzbekistan national team, Eldor Shomurodov, managed to score his own goal during the match. Below, we will analyze our compatriot's technical and tactical performance at that match.
Attack Performance (0.15 xG)
Shomurodov converted one of his two shots into a goal (50%). Most importantly, his goal's expected goal ratio (xG) was only 0.15. This proves that the probability of a goal from the point of impact was very low and Shomurodov's high skill. He also managed to create dangerous chances for the team with an expected pass rate of 0.71 (xA). The total number of touches to the ball was 40.
Attack performance:
- Goals: 1.
- Total shots: 2
- Accurate shots: 1/2 (50%)
- Expected goal (xG): 0.15

Advantage in duels
Eldor's dominance in air combat (5 out of 8, i.e., 62%) indicates his importance as a central striker (he also scored the goal with his head). However, the low result in ground duels (2/8 or 25%) and the absence of successful cheats (0/3) revealed some aspects of his playing style. Shomurodov contributed to the defense by clearing two shots and intercepting two.
Indicators by passes:
- Accurate passes: 17/25 (68%)
- Passes to the final third zone: 1.
- Long passes: 1/1 (100%)
The precision and consistency in his passing movements, especially his ability not to lose the ball under pressure, was one of the important aspects that contributed to the team's game.
Dribbling:
- Successful dribbling: 0/3 (0%)
Although this indicator did not materialize, Eldor's attempts to move forward with the ball created opportunities necessary for quick attacks.
In defense:
- Cleaning: 2
- Picking the ball: 2
- In dribbling, the opponent overtakes: 2.
Shomurodov helped his team not only in attack but also in defense. It was this universality that made him a valuable player in Turkish football as well.
In single combat:
- Duels on the ground: 2/8 (25%)
- Air duels: 5/8 (62%)
His strong performance in the air showed itself once again - he won important struggles for the team, both in attack and in the rear.
Despite the goal-scoring nature of the match, the final score didn't work in favor of Bashakshehir. However, Shomurodov's performance was highly appreciated by the fans, and his skill, spirit, and influence on the team were once again demonstrated.
As a reminder, Bashakshehir's next match will be against Kasympasha on November 29th. The fans are waiting for Eldor to score another goal.
