Postmatch editorial

The pre-match tension never quite broke

The final score was Burgos 2-2 Real Sociedad II. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Curro Sánchez put the first mark on the match 13', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Real Sociedad II led Shots on target 4-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Burgos also shaded Corners 6-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Burgos the favourite at 52.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
