Postmatch editorial
Australia bent the night away from the script
The final score was Australia 2-0 Türkiye. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.
The decisive turn arrived late when Connor Metcalfe scored 75' for Australia.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Türkiye led Total shots 9-30, even though the scoreboard went another way. Türkiye also shaded Shots on target 4-8.
Before kickoff, our model made Türkiye the likeliest result at 55.2%, while the median bookmaker line priced Türkiye at 59.2% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (59.3%), and that angle missed.
