Which NEC Nijmegen player played the most passes leading to a shot?
Brayann Pereira, with 3 key passes. Next: Calvin Verdonk 2, Sami Ouaissa 2.
Pereira topped NEC Nijmegen's chance creation with 3 key passes, ahead of Verdonk and Ouaissa (2 each). Despite the 1–2 home defeat against Ajax, attacking opportunities flowed primarily through Pereira.
Which Ajax player made the most tackles?
Ahmetcan Kaplan, with 4 tackles. Next: Branco van den Boomen 2, Anton Gaaei 1.
Kaplan anchored Ajax defensively with 4 tackles, twice as many as Van den Boomen (2). That ability to break up play proved essential in defending a narrow 1–2 away victory over NEC Nijmegen.
How is the rating calculated?
The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
