Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Athletic Club 1-1 Celta de Vigo. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Williot Swedberg put the first mark on the match 4', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Athletic Club led Shots on target 9-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Athletic Club also shaded Total shots 27-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Athletic Club the favourite at 46.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
