Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Alcorcón 1-1 Real Valladolid. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Fede Vico put the first mark on the match 14', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Alcorcón led Shots on target 10-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Real Valladolid also shaded Possession 39%-61%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Real Valladolid the favourite at 43.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
