Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Ascoli 1-1 Carrarese. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Gabriele Gori 82', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ascoli led Possession 71%-29%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ascoli also shaded Shots on target 6-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ascoli the favourite at 54.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
