Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Čukarički 0-0 Sumqayıt. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Čukarički nor Sumqayıt found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Čukarički led Shots on target 7-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Čukarički also shaded Corners 16-0.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Čukarički the favourite at 81.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
