Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Dila 3-3 Riga. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Antonijs Cernomordijs  90+6', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dila led Total shots 18-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Riga also shaded Corners 6-9.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dila the favourite at 40.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
