Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was AIK 2-0 GAIS. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Taha Ayari put the first mark on the match 49', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: AIK led Shots on target 4-2. GAIS also shaded Corners 4-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made GAIS the favourite at 43.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
