On-target attempts reveal a larger gap
Total attempts were relatively close at sixteen for Sociedad and fourteen for Lillestrøm. Shots on target were eight to two. The six-goal margin does not mean the hosts never attacked; the figures instead show a much larger difference in attempts reaching the target and in the resulting goals.
