Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Bordeaux 0-0 Lorient. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Bordeaux nor Lorient found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Lorient led Shots on target 1-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bordeaux also shaded Corners 3-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bordeaux the favourite at 41.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
