Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Angers SCO 0-0 Olympique Lyonnais. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Angers SCO nor Olympique Lyonnais found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympique Lyonnais led Shots on target 1-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Olympique Lyonnais also shaded Possession 32%-68%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Olympique Lyonnais the favourite at 61.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
