Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Alessandria 2-2 SPAL. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Michele Marconi 81', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SPAL led Shots on target 2-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. SPAL also shaded Total shots 7-14.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Alessandria the favourite at 38.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
