Postmatch editorial
Melgar upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Cienciano 1-3 Melgar. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Cienciano struck first through Alejandro Hohberg 22', but Melgar recovered and flipped the match.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Melgar led Possession 35%-65%. Melgar also shaded Corners 2-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Cienciano the favourite at 50.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
