The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Córdoba 0-2 Almería. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Córdoba led Total shots 21-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Córdoba also shaded Corners 9-0.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Córdoba the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
