The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Amiens SC 0-1 Metz. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Farid Boulaya put the first mark on the match 26', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Amiens SC led Corners 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Amiens SC also shaded Possession 59%-41%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Amiens SC the favourite at 48.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
