Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Brest 1-1 Angers SCO. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Romain Del Castillo put the first mark on the match 55', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Brest led Shots on target 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Brest also shaded Total shots 18-8.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Brest the favourite at 51.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
