Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Deportivo Riestra 1-1 Vélez Sarsfield. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Facundo Miño 76', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Vélez Sarsfield led Possession 24%-76%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Vélez Sarsfield also shaded Shots on target 3-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Deportivo Riestra the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
