  "account": "On October 18, 2026, Real Madrid triumphed 4-1 over Sevilla in a LaLiga EA Sports match at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. In a tight contest, neither team managed to score from a set-piece, except for Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid, who netted a penalty. Sevilla's set-piece deliveries yielded only two shots, amounting to 0.07 npxG, while Real Madrid's were almost negligible at 0.03. Sevilla, trailing in every game state, had six attacking restarts, consisting of three free kicks, two corners, and a throw. Two of these resulted in shots, one directly from the delivery and another from the second phase, totaling 0.07 npxG. The most notable moment came on the 73rd minute when Manu Bueno met Gabriel Suazo's free kick, but the shot was off target, equating to 0.06 npxG. Sevilla attempted to exploit the six-yard box with three deliveries, but Real Madrid won the first contact on three occasions, with Thibaut Courtois saving two. Madrid had one more set-piece opportunity compared to Sevilla, yet their efforts yielded minimal results. Out of their seven set-piece restarts, only one led to a shot. The majority of the deliveries were taken after Madrid had already led, with Arda Güler contributing three of them. Sevilla emerged victorious in the first contact on two of the seven deliveries, while Madrid lost the only aerial duel at the first contact and faced one set-piece challenge handled by Odysseas Vlachodimos.",
  "summary": "A rather quiet game in terms of dead-ball situations for both teams, except for Mbappe’s penalty.",
