Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean
The final score was Brest 2-0 Olympique Marseille. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympique Marseille led Possession 32%-68%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Olympique Marseille also shaded Total shots 12-17.
