Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Ajax 2-2 SC Heerenveen. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Maxence Rivera 82', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SC Heerenveen led Shots on target 4-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ajax also shaded Corners 7-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ajax the favourite at 69.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
