Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed

Leandro Antonetti put the first mark on the match 51', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Alverca led Corners 2-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Estrela Amadora also shaded Shots on target 4-7.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Alverca the favourite at 46.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
