Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was Dečić 1-2 Liepāja. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Dečić struck first through Davor Kontić 12', but Liepāja recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dečić led Corners 11-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dečić also shaded Possession 59%-41%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dečić the favourite at 40.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
