Postmatch editorial
The script held and Comoros delivered it

Youssouf M'Changama put the first mark on the match 20', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Central African Republic led Total shots 11-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Central African Republic also shaded Corners 8-5.
Before kickoff, our model made Comoros the likeliest result at 36.6%, while the median bookmaker line priced Comoros at 60.2% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (51.0%), and that angle landed.
