Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was AFC Wimbledon 1-1 Newport County after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Callum Maycock 90+7', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: AFC Wimbledon led Possession 61%-39%, even though the scoreboard went another way. AFC Wimbledon also shaded Shots on target 5-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made AFC Wimbledon the favourite at 59.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
