Where this comes from

Our data feed publishes match events, possession, shots and lineups. It does not publish continuous ball tracking, so the pitch does not show where the ball actually is. The pressure zones and the focal marker are calculated from possession share, shots on target, recent events and tempo. Marker positions are placed in a plausible area for their type and are stable for a given event, but they are illustrations rather than recorded locations.

Scores, minutes, events, lineups and statistics are all real values from the feed.
