Postmatch editorial
Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Buxton led Total shots 11-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Buxton also shaded Possession 58%-42%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Buxton the favourite at 61.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
