Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Barakaldo 0-0 Villarrubia after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Barakaldo nor Villarrubia found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Villarrubia led Shots on target 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Villarrubia also shaded Possession 48%-52%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Barakaldo the favourite at 52.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
