Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Blyth Spartans 1-1 Bradford Park Avenue. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Harry Colville 83', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bradford Park Avenue led Corners 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bradford Park Avenue also shaded Shots on target 3-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Blyth Spartans the favourite at 63.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
