Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Aalesund 5-5 Vålerenga. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Carl Lange 85', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Vålerenga led Possession 32%-68%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Aalesund also shaded Corners 10-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Vålerenga the favourite at 42.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
