Summary

Alberto Costa has already shown that he creates more chances than a typical defender in the Primeira Liga. In just two appearances, totalling 110 minutes, he has produced four key passes, equating to 3.27 key passes per 90 minutes compared with the baseline of 0.56 for his position.

Costa has not yet scored or assisted, and he has not taken any shots, but his average match rating of 7.35 reflects his overall contribution.

Per-player totals for 2026/27 from API-Football match stats, across 19 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
