Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Caen 1-1 Red Star. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Ilyes Najim 72', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Caen led Total shots 14-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Caen also shaded Corners 4-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Red Star the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
