Here is a look at the xG (expected goals) stats from Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham (Europa League quarterfinal first leg on 11 April, 2024)
Leverkusen had 33 shots to West Ham’s solitary one (that single WHU attempt came from Mo Kudus in the 10th minute). They peppered Lukas Fabianski in goal but none of their chances were really clear-cut ones, and that’s evident in the low overall xG score.
