Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Dundalk 2-2 KA Akureyri. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Greg Sloggett 89', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dundalk led Total shots 11-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dundalk also shaded Possession 63%-37%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dundalk the favourite at 59.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
