Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Annecy 1-1 Metz. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Téji Savanier put the first mark on the match 24', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Annecy led Shots on target 6-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Annecy also shaded Corners 7-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Metz the favourite at 40.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
