Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was AVS 3-1 Porto. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Aderllan Santos scored 80' for AVS.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Porto led Total shots 9-20, even though the scoreboard went another way. Porto also shaded Possession 31%-69%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Porto the favourite at 76.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
