Postmatch editorial

Draw found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was Deportivo Alavés 2-2 Osasuna. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The late equaliser came from Lucas Boyé 90+1', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Deportivo Alavés led Corners 7-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Deportivo Alavés also shaded Total shots 18-8.
