Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Atlético Paso 1-1 Real Murcia after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Eneko Zabaleta 86', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Real Murcia led Shots on target 3-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Real Murcia also shaded Total shots 8-11.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Real Murcia the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
