Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Bologna 0-0 Cagliari. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Bologna nor Cagliari found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bologna led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bologna also shaded Corners 7-2.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bologna the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
