Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Angers SCO 1-1 Le Havre. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Sofiane Boufal put the first mark on the match 13', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Le Havre led Shots on target 5-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Le Havre also shaded Total shots 11-16.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Le Havre the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
