Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

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

The late equaliser came from Francesco Salvemini 90+2', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Benevento led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Benevento also shaded Corners 11-1.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Benevento the favourite at 52.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
