Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-2 FC Heidenheim. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Franck Honorat 74', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Heidenheim led Corners 2-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Borussia Mönchengladbach also shaded Possession 52%-48%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Borussia Mönchengladbach the favourite at 61.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
