Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Conquense 0-0 Real Sociedad after penalties. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Brais Méndez 92', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Real Sociedad led Possession 28%-72%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Real Sociedad also shaded Corners 4-14.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Real Sociedad the favourite at 85.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
