Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Clermont 1-1 Bastia. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Alexandre Zaouai 90+1', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bastia led Possession 34%-66%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bastia also shaded Corners 5-12.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bastia the favourite at 38.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
