Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear
The final score was Barnet 2-2 Newport County after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Rhys Browne 90+9', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Barnet led Total shots 22-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Barnet also shaded Possession 76%-24%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Barnet the favourite at 64.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
