Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Athletic Club 2-3 Deportivo La Coruña. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Adrián put the first mark on the match 6', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Athletic Club led Total shots 13-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Athletic Club also shaded Corners 11-6.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Athletic Club the favourite at 60.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
