Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Austria Wien 0-0 Sporting Braga. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Austria Wien nor Sporting Braga found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sporting Braga led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sporting Braga also shaded Corners 2-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sporting Braga the favourite at 51.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
