Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Ajaccio 1-1 Quevilly Rouen. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Kalifa Coulibaly put the first mark on the match 24', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ajaccio led Corners 8-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ajaccio also shaded Possession 65%-35%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Quevilly Rouen the favourite at 36.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
