Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was DSC Arminia Bielefeld 2-2 St. Pauli. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Jannik Rochelt put the first mark on the match 13', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: St. Pauli led Shots on target 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. St. Pauli also shaded Corners 3-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made DSC Arminia Bielefeld the favourite at 44.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
