Leicester City began their new Championship campaign with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Sheffield Wednesday, a result that shows their mettle and immediately puts them among the early leaders.
This opening day clash had everything riding on it for both teams. For the home side, a season of high expectations was beginning, and they needed to start strong on their home turf as they look to secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
On the other side, Sheffield Wednesday came into the match looking to upset the odds, hoping to replicate the unexpectedly strong away form they showed in the previous season.
The King Power Stadium was silenced just after the 25-minute mark when Sheffield Wednesday's Nathaniel Chalobah struck first with a powerful shot, putting the visitors in front and highlighting the challenge facing the Foxes (0-1).
It was a wake-up call for the home side, who were trailing as the half-time whistle blew. But in the second half, the tide began to turn. Just nine minutes in, Jannik Vestergaard leveled the score, bringing the home crowd back to life (1-1).
The Foxes continued to press, and their persistence paid off in the 87th minute when following a corner, defender Wout Faes header at the near post found the back of the net, securing a last-gasp victory for the home team (2-1).
This was a classic tale of two halves for Leicester, who, as a team with Premier League resilience and late-season momentum, showed they could overcome an early setback and battle their way to a win. The victory gives them an ideal start to the season.
This was a tough one to take for Sheffield Wednesday, who came close to secure a good result away from home, confirming the pre-match trends about their away strength, and will be disappointed by the late blow.
To calculate the above duration values based on a total of 90 minutes, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are considered scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are considered scored on the 90th minute.

How is the Domination Index calculated?
⌄
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 90-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.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Leicester City have been in the lead for an average duration of 3.0 minutes per match (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is lower than the average duration of 28.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
Lead-defending ability Leicester City have taken the lead 1 instance and have conceded an equalizer on 0 instances, translating into a lead-defending rate of 100% (for an opponents' equalizing rate of 0%).
Equalizing ability Of the 1 time that Leicester City's opponents have taken the lead, Leicester City have managed to score an equalizer on 1 instance, translating into an equalizing rate of 100%.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Leicester City have been in the lead for an average duration of 3.0 minutes per match played at home (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is lower than the average duration of 28.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
Lead-defending ability (at home) In home matches, Leicester City have taken the lead 1 time and have conceded an equalizer on 0 occasions, translating into a home lead-defending rate of 100% (for an opponents' equalizing rate of 0%).
Equalizing ability (at home) Of the 1 time that Leicester City's opponents have taken the lead when Leicester City were playing at home, Leicester City have managed to score an equalizer on 1 occasion, translating into a home equalizing rate of 100%.
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
In this example, Leicester City have been in the lead for an average duration of 0.0 minutes per match played away (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is level with the average duration of 0.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches.
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
