Mexico vs South Africa

@Pembroke Just had a nasty thought how long before they'll define DOGSO by XG?

Ha I've thought this for a few years (and actually don't hate it)

A question would be what represents clear opportunity, penalties are 0.76 = scored 76%. A chance under 0.1 big or small? As XG can be assessed in a millisecond by Opta, Statsbomb etc .. This is a possibility, "the XG was 0.25 = Clear opportunity, DOGSO ..!"

Direction of travel was in perfect line with the pitch. He is 100% in on goal.
His next touch he is 1 on 1 at an angle. This is DOGSO.

Lost in this discussion seems to be the actual\ language. It isn't direction of travel. It is "general direction of the play." IFAB changed the language a few years ago because of referees getting too focussed on a player going a bit sideways as part of the attack.

I think this is easily DOGSO.
