The Domination Index calculation is based on the average of the following percentages: - Possession percentage - Percentage of match corners awarded to each team - Percentage of time each team has been in the lead 'Domination' in football can be perceived in different ways. The goal of the Domination Index, as calculated here, is not about trying to determine things like 'who should have won' or which team has been simply attacking the most.
Sometimes a team has easily scored once or twice in the beginning of the game and then opts for a more reactive stance, with a focus on hindering the opponent's game.
At the end of the match, the opponent might have had more possession, and even more shots, but that does not necessarily mean they have dominated the other team. Considering possession as only one of the factors, which also include corners clearly indicating a form of pressure on the opponent's defence , and how much of the minute match duration each team has been leading , allows to also account for when teams have simply been busy controling the game, without needing to attack a lot.
