Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Bala Town 0-1 Larne. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Davy McDaid put the first mark on the match 2', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bala Town led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Larne also shaded Corners 5-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bala Town the favourite at 39.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
