Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was AVS 1-1 Vitória Guimarães. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Gustavo Silva put the first mark on the match 24', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Vitória Guimarães led Shots on target 4-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Vitória Guimarães also shaded Possession 40%-60%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Vitória Guimarães the favourite at 62.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
