Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Bradford City 0-0 Burnley after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Jacob Bruun Larsen put the first mark on the match 5', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Burnley led Possession 32%-68%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Burnley also shaded Corners 5-14.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Burnley the favourite at 48.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
