Liga Portugal finishing: goals vs xG 2026/2027
The Liga Portugal players whose non-penalty goals have run furthest from the chances behind them, either way. Penalties come out of both halves: a penalty is awarded rather than created, and it is a separate skill.
Abraham Marcus is furthest above his chances, 1.91 ahead of them: 4 non-penalty goals from 2.09 npxG. Gustavo Silva is furthest below, 2.54 short: 1 non-penalty goal from 3.54 npxG.

A player is listed once the median Liga Portugal club has played 6 matches, with at least 450 minutes and 2.0 non-penalty xG, and only where his non-penalty goals are 1.0 or more from his non-penalty xG — the 10 furthest each way. Every count is summed over the matches we hold per-player figures for, and penalties are taken out of both halves on the shot feed's flag.
