Postmatch editorial
Runcorn Linnets upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Ashton United 1-2 Runcorn Linnets. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Scott Bakkor put the first mark on the match 7', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ashton United led Possession 57%-43%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Runcorn Linnets also shaded Corners 4-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ashton United the favourite at 59.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
