Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Charlton Athletic 0-0 Queens Park Rangers. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Charlton Athletic nor Queens Park Rangers found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Queens Park Rangers led Shots on target 0-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Queens Park Rangers also shaded Possession 28%-72%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Queens Park Rangers the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
