Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Cornellà 0-0 Orihuela after extra time. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Cornellà nor Orihuela found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Cornellà led Corners 7-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Cornellà also shaded Possession 54%-46%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Cornellà the favourite at 73.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
