Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Barakaldo 0-0 Málaga after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Barakaldo nor Málaga found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Barakaldo led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Barakaldo also shaded Corners 11-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Málaga the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
