Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Atalanta 0-0 Hapoel Tel Aviv. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Atalanta nor Hapoel Tel Aviv found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Atalanta led Corners 3-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Atalanta also shaded Possession 62%-38%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Atalanta the favourite at 84.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
