Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Cercle Brugge 3-3 Sint-Truiden. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Loïc Mbe Soh 90+3', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Cercle Brugge led Total shots 26-13, even though the scoreboard went another way. Cercle Brugge also shaded Corners 10-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sint-Truiden the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
