Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Aalesund 1-1 Viking. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Kristoffer Askildsen put the first mark on the match 45+1', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Viking led Corners 4-10, even though the scoreboard went another way. Viking also shaded Possession 39%-61%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Viking the favourite at 66.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
