Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Ajaccio 1-1 Pau. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Benjamin Santelli put the first mark on the match 22', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ajaccio led Shots on target 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ajaccio also shaded Corners 9-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ajaccio the favourite at 41.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
