Cusco FC flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Cienciano 1-2 Cusco FC. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Lucas Colitto put the first mark on the match 10', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Cienciano led Shots on target 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Cienciano also shaded Total shots 22-10.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Cienciano the favourite at 49.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
