Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Cardiff City 1-1 Wrexham. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Rubin Colwill 90+8', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Wrexham led Shots on target 3-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Wrexham also shaded Total shots 9-17.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Cardiff City the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
